	One of our users asked me yesterday if he could send a telex using
electronic mail.  I told him I didn't think it was possible but would look
into it.  So, folks, is it possible?  To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how
telex, TWX, and telegrams differ, but it sure seems like it should be
possible to set up a telex-SMTP gateway (with appropriate billing details
taken care of, I suppose).  This guy says that in many parts of the world
(in particular, India, where he wants to communicate with) telex is the
most popular form of communication there is.
