Is it possible to access the 'BTX' service (offered by the Bundespost,
the West German state telecomm. organization) from the U.S.,
preferably through means other than transatlantic phone calls?
It is probably similar to the French MiniTel system, which IS
accessible from the U.S.

[Moderator's Note: I may be mistaken, but I believe they have a
network address on Telenet. I believe a network address for
information would be @C 026245621040000,NAME,PWD. No collect calls
accepted! You will need the NAME,PWD following the address. You must
log in. To learn about the network, Login: ID INF300, Passwort: DATACOM
To learn about Telebox Mail........ Login: ID INF400, Passwort: TELEBOX-E
Connect time is free on the above two demonstration accounts, except
for the Telenet international connection. And I also believe there is
a German/English toggle, allowing you to read the demo information in
either language. PT]
