Hi all, sorry, if this is the wrong newsgroup, but ... as everybody knows, in modern television sets there exists the possibility to get some text on the screen depending on what station you are actually watching. In Austria this system is called "Teletext", the German call it "Videotext" as far as I know. (It is independent from post and phone lines !!!). In the following paragraphs I will refer to this system as teletext. After some hard search I managed to get some hardware to be able to read teletext pages into my computer. I figured out that they use National ASCII for printing characters but have a lot of control codes which perhaps even switch between character sets. If you know anything about this control codes please mail your information to me. Any help welcome.
