Have a look on the http://www.enst.fr/~meunier/minitel/minitel.html server, which is a minitel gateway to the 11 (under development) For our foreign readers, who don't use the Minitel, I put hereby an example of use : ========================================================== How do we have to pay for it ? For local calls, the first three minutes are free. The searching algorithms work especially fast, but first of all, you must determine the approximate area you want to look for because the dial directory is divided in hundred parts (i.e. the french "departements"). Otherwise you have to try different departements. How works the french "annuaire electronique" (le 3611) ? Let us assume, for instance, we want to know about Mister Gerard LANGLET, a worldwide specialist of the APL Language, and we just know he lives in France, not far from the town Versailles. With the minitel, it will take less than one minute ! First we dial the 3611 number, and we give to the system the words : LANGLET VERSAILLES GERARD (because a lot of people have the same name) ========================================== | RECHERCHE | | PAR NOM | | OU PAR ACTIVITE | | | | NOM:LANGLET.....................| | ........................... | | ACTIVITE:............................| | ............................| | ........................... | | LOCALITE:VERSAILLES..................| | ........................... | | Vous pouvez preciser | |DEPARTEMENT:........................... | | ADRESSE:........................... | | PRENOM:GERARD..................... | |----------------------------------------| |(c)1992 Comment remplir Guide | |France Les services du 11 Sommaire| |Telecom Les numeros d'urgence Retour | | | | POUR MIEUX | | UTILISER | | LE 1 1 : Numero Vert O5 11 36 11 | ========================================== After a second, the system answers : ========================================== | | | RECHERCHE | | PAR NOM | | OU PAR ACTIVITE | | | | NOM:LANGLET | | | | ACTIVITE: | | | | | | LOCALITE:VERSAILLES | | | | | |DEPARTEMENT:YVELINES | | ADRESSE: | | PRENOM:GERARD | |----------------------------------------| | | |Il y a des reponses, mais | |sans ce prenom. | | les reponses Envoi | |----------------------------------------| | Pour choisir: | |1 une localite voisine | |2 tout le departement Nø:2 Envoi | ========================================== We know now that the town Versailles lies in the YVELINES french departement. And when type "2" for a search in the whole department. We get instantaneously the answer : ========================================== | | |... LANGLET | | 78350 JOUY EN JOSAS 1| |----------------------------------------| | 1 Langlet Gerard (1) 39 56 08 58| | chem Vallot | ========================================== We suceeded ! That means we got the snail address of Gerard LANGLET: "chemin du Vallot / 78350 JOUY-EN-JOSAS / FRANCE" His phone number is +33-1 39 56 08 58
