As far as I know:
/* sales pitch on */
If you sign up now, you could get a minitel terminal free!
/* sales pitch off */

My boss was talking about giving the software away for free. After all,
we want to get people to use the Minneapolis (Community Link) Gateway!
I think you can get the software for free, but I don't know how the
marketing pukes are going to handle this. I heard two different stories.
Even if not.. the software costs 14 bucks (I think). And a friend I work
with is writing his own windows minitel emulator (since the French one 
sucks), so maybe we will use that one to give away for free or something.

Setup fee? beats me. You can only access these viodeotex services
from the Gateway, and I think they charge a monthly fee. So maybe that's
where the 15 dollars came from. I don't know. but if that's the case, then
you get a whole shitload of services for the 15 bucks, not just that ONE.
