No I haven't been given the essential parts.

I strongly doubt that. I think the answer is there somewhere [1 out of 
10-the-power-10-billion places] but it is extremely difficult to find 
because there aren't enough sources to make this answer readily 
available. This due to the fact that I am one of the extremely small 
minorities of the human population who is actually-interested in EDTN. 
The majority simply don't care.

Or [and equally anger-causing for me], the EDTN is a company secret. 
Those sick f--ks who make up the company that designed EDTN want to keep 
EDTN classified so that no regular person knows about what it "codes" 
for or how it works.

I suspect it's probably something that company is going to keep secret 
from us. Sick f---scums.

Usually with protocols like EDTN -- where there isn't much info, I might 
suspect that someone [or a lot of someones] is/are attempting to cover 
up a type of technology.

I then get extremely curious angry and want to forcibly get information 
as to how what the EDTN stands for and how it works and possible EDTN 
phone numbers. I want to torture the designers -- into providing me the 
information. Its only human nature to want something you know you can't 
have.

I am so upset now that I want to find whoever designed EDTN and force 
them [at oxy-acetylene-blowtorch point] to provide me with information 
regarding what EDTN stands for [in relation to textphones], technical 
specs of EDTN, and EDTN phones numbers of Switzerland. If they refuse, 
I'd like to scorch their skins until they are white and foamy like the 
foam produce by heating Parmasen cheese to sizzling point.

This ain't much -- if anything -- to do with AS. I was just in an 
extremely bad mood.
