The ITU (International Telecommunications Union), parent body to the CCITT, now has a public bulletin board for information retrieval. The service is called TIES, Telecom Information Exchange Services. Access is either by the telephone network and modem, or by packet networks. The login procedure from the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is by calling +41 22 733 7575, which provides access through a multistandard modem interface. CCITT V.21, V.22, V.22bis, V.32, and Bell 212A modems are supporteds. Terminal emulation is ANSI/VTXXX. From the PSPDN (Public Switched Packet Data Network) access is via the Swiss TELEPAC using the DTE number #228468111112, where # is your local access. The Username INFO, with no password, can be used by any person for the access to the Public Information available on the ITU Info service. Participants in CCITT Study Groups can obtain a login and make use of the e-mail and electronic conference facilities, as well as uploading drafts etc. Herman Silbiger hsilbiger@attmail.com

Any chance of this service being attached to the Internet? I have world-wide telnet/ftp capability without additional fee (above the $70k my university pays to belong to AARNet). Unfortunately accessing TIES by PSTN or PSDN cost real extra money. Jim Breen ARNet: jwb@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au Department of Robotics & Digital Technology. Monash University.
