|The following article was posted a while ago to soc.culture.german,
|but no responses were received:
|
|Just received a little pamphlet from the 'Deutsche Telepost Consulting'
|regarding 'Btx access from the USA'.
|
|Basic network charges are $30/hr. Whew!
|That makes Compuserve look like a real bargain in comparison,
|not to speak about GEnie at off-peak hours.
|
|What does btx cost within Germany?
|What about Compuserve in Germany? GEnie and similar services? MiniTel?
