An easy solution is a connection to attmail since a telex number is
automatically provided.  You can either get individual or unix
accounts.  On a unix account, telex messages are received as mail to a
user named "telex".  Outbound messages might be cheaper through some
other service, but unless you do a lot of international business, you
probably don't have a lot of outbound telex traffic.
