Not in every country, but so what? I am quite sure that the UK allows
Telebits - there may be others.

Put the European gateway in a county that allows Trailblazers, and it can
feed the rest of the continent at whatever speed each country will allow.

Discussions in comp.dcom.modems suggest that Telebit-speed transmission
can be more cost effective than even cheap X.25 setups like PC Pursuit.
If this can be used to carry data between Europe and America more cheaply,
isn't is worth at least a trial?
