Can anyone tell me if it is possible to communicate with a TELEX station from a computer running UNIX ? I want to communicate with people who use the TELEX system. I am interested in one-way communications only. Can anyone give me a hint as to how to do this, or is it just not possible ? Jorge OchoaLions University of Arizona Department of Computer Science.

Ok. There are essentially two ways you can go about this. First, you can actually emulate a TELEX terminal, plugging one of your serial lines in to their equipment and playing code converter, etc. The other alternative is that they now offer a computer access to TELEX. You can call up with a regular ASCII terminal and send TELEX messages and you can arrange to have the TELEX system call your computer back to deliver messages or you poll their machine for your messages. Interactive Systems of Santa Monica, CA is now marketing a product called INTelex. I have no idea what it does. I have mixed feelings about Interactive. -Ron
