The ITU (International Telecommunications Union), parent body to the
CCITT, now has a public bulletin board for information retrieval.  The
service is called TIES, Telecom Information Exchange Services.

Access is either by the telephone network and modem, or by packet
networks.

The login procedure from the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network)
is by calling +41 22 733 7575, which provides access through a
multistandard modem interface.  CCITT V.21, V.22, V.22bis, V.32, and
Bell 212A modems are supporteds.  Terminal emulation is ANSI/VTXXX.

 From the PSPDN (Public Switched Packet Data Network) access is via
the Swiss TELEPAC using the DTE number #228468111112, where # is your
local access.

The Username INFO, with no password, can be used by any person for the
access to the Public Information available on the ITU Info service.

Participants in CCITT Study Groups can obtain a login and make use of
the e-mail and electronic conference facilities, as well as uploading
drafts etc.
