Could anyone out there tell me about the German Btx system?
I have seen numbers on letterheads in the form Btx *XXXXX#
(XXXXX represent numbers).
Is this a form of e-mail?
If so ...
is there a way of mailing to these from Internet?

Also Telex numbers seem to be in use over there--
I don't think there would be a way to send to these because of the
costs involved to a gateway site but is there a number that thay 
use to send a message to an Internet site?

I'm afraid I don't know very much about it - and that because both BTX and
telex seem to dye, very few people use them any loger. > fax, e-mail aso.

No, it is no e-mail. The communication channel for btx is the telephone
line, the device you need is a mixture of telephone and computer. I don't
think, there is any conection between e-mail net and btx.
