Howdy,

Thanks. I've actually enjoyed making it - if anything, I did so to pickup some different skills that I could use elsewhere...

There are. TQWnet mail transfers with the main hub are over zerotier, some nodes poll and collect mail over TLS and tor.

Australia's implementation of Videotex was similar to Minitel - probably more correctly similar to Prestel (the UK implementation).

While Videotex is Mode 7 graphics, 40x25, I've actually implemented "AnsiTex", the same user interface but with ANSI graphics 80x25. My current BBS (Synchronet) is using an AnsiTex shell that I've been dabling with over the years. It too is half baked (page,navigation and message reading works OK, but I need to write a frame and msg editor to make useful).
