Question: In MacWeek Baseline, Inc. has an ad in the "Ad Showcase" section 
for something called MacTell, a program that lets you emulate the MiniTel 
terminal, "allowing communication with people and online services all over the 
world. Called 'addicting' by MacWorld." 
   They show a picture of it displaying an ascii picture of a Manet painting, 
I guess from a French online service. 
   Does anyone know anything about this program or about MiniTel? I read in 
a past article in MacWeek (it talked about Apple's commitment to 
communication) 
something about MiniTel, a French online service, and it barely mentioned 
MacTel. Does anyone have any concrete info on it? I'd appreciate any help. 
  
Thanks in advance........
