* The ITU (International Telecommunications Union), parent body to the

Any chance of this service being attached to the Internet?

I have world-wide telnet/ftp capability without additional fee (above
the $70k my university pays to belong to AARNet).  Unfortunately
accessing TIES by PSTN or PSDN cost real extra money.
