Hi. There is a good picture of the first Minitel terminal on this page, but wouldn't it be great if there was successive models shown? How about some screenshots of various services?

[edit] MINITEL.FR

Clicking on the UK Minitel link in External links, I found this editorial:

[edit] The MINITEL.FR service will close by the end of 2006.

Our customers owning a loaded account will be able to use it to connect to Minitel services until December 31st 2006, when the service will end for good.


Is this true?

Evidently not--I used it today! 86.72.133.206 20:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The Orange Minitel internet gateway was discontinued, but not Minitel itself. An internet gateway remains here, although I believe it is only available to France Telecom subscribers. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 15:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Server Side?

What type of technology is used server side? What OS (Unix, VMS, etc.)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.118.72.85 (talk) 19:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC).
