Keywords: Minitel, France Message-ID: <48442@oliveb.olivetti.com> Date: 25 Sep 89 20:59:02 GMT Sender: news@oliveb.olivetti.com Followup-To: comp.std.internat Lines: 22 Hi out there! I have a few, (possibly naive) questions: 1. Is it possible to access the Minitel system from the USA? 2. If #1 = yes, does anyone out there know of backbones, etc., connecting the US with Minitel? The reason I ask, is that the US and French mail is very slow. I have friends in France with computers; I have a computer, ergo, there must be an easier, faster, and less expensive way to send large amounts of info. Thanks in advance to all who reply!! ------------------------------------------------------------- How to find me: {ucbvax, etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!davepat Olivetti Advanced Technology Center 20300 Stevens Creek Boulevard Cupertino, CA 95014 How to find me: {ucbvax, etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!davepat Olivetti Advanced Technology Center 20300 Stevens Creek Boulevard
