Ah. I used a minitel terminal in 1986. Yes, these standalone terminals
would definitely count. The ones integrated with a TV are probably
getting too far afield, though.

More of a protocol; Prestel was the initial and dominant service in
the UK, Bildschirmtext in Germany, Viatel in Auatralia, etc. Minitel
was the french version, using a later version of the protocol alowing
for, among other things, higher resolution graphics. Do viewdata terminals count?
We're trying to be inclusive here, so yes. From googling around, it
looks like viewdata was a service and not a terminal manufacturer? Indeed - I really need to finish the conversion to a
Wiki of my site,
and get that all live, then I can start adding info there again..
I am using MediaWiki and I found it to have some quirks; email me if
you want to share experiences on that.
