In the February 1988 issue of MacWorld (p. 129 - 131) there is a brief
article on Minitel of France and a telecommunications package called
MacTell that is used to access it. I would like to know more about the
company, its services and its terminals as well as MacTell.

Furthermore within that article they go on to mention a database called
Baseline, "said to be the largest online database in the entertainment
industry. Baseline contains credits for more than 50,000 feature films
and television productions....."  Does anyone know more about this
service: cost, phone numbers to access it, its ease of use, etc.?

I'd appreciate your answers sent to me and not to the newsgroups.
I will post a followup article with all the responses I
get from you.              Thanks.
                                      -Eric.
