Yes, certainly... Well, almost. I have seen examples of commercial
e-mail systems, presumably unable to speak to each other directly,
exchanging mail via telex...

Another case: telex is pretty widespread in the former SU (and in many
developing countries, I guess), and I think much commercial e-mail
traffic originating in X.400 or whatever gets relayed to such
destinations via telex by various gateways.  I don't now how
bi-directional these kinds of gateways are, though.

Isn't (radio) telex also widespread onboard merchant ships? Are there
connections to this "network" from e-mail systems?
