Most of the email vendors, including at least MCI Mail, Easylink, and
Compuserve, offer telex gateways to their subscribers.  MCI Mail and Easylink
also assign telex numbers for incoming telexes -- if you send a telex to
6501037498 it will end up in my MCI Mail mailbox.  I have also seen a few
mail to telex gateways in the uucp world; Interactive Systems used to have
one and still may at their Santa Monica office for their internal use.

I doubt that you'll find anyone who lets you pass random messages from the
Internet to telex, since telex messages cost considerable amounts of real
money, several dollars per minute for international calls at only 60 or 75
characters per minute.
