I don't know everything tymnet is used for, but it does provide a
way for people to access computer services of one sort or another
through a local phone call.  In my experience with it, the vendor of
the service hooks up to Tymnet.  He provides you with the info to
log in and a local phone number.  This save the supplier from having
to provide his own out of town links.
