According to "Paris Passion" magazine, there is now an access port
into the French Minitel system at 540-LINK in NYNEX areas. This would
include 212, etc. This number appears inaccessable from California
(415-326). How can I get there from here?
Note that 540 in NYNEX areas indicates an information-service provider,
as with 976.
Direct dialing (AT&T) gets "Your call cannot be completed as dialed".
Adding a 10222 prefix for MCI gets "MCI does not complete calls to
976 numbers at this time".
Contacting an AT&T supervisor elicited the information that the number
was "direct dialable only" and could not be dialed from an operator position.
AT&T inward in NYC could not reach it. Even a NYNEX operator was unable to
reach it.
This is annoying. How can I get through?
