For the danish cold-war museum, I'm presently setting up a telex system with
(at present) 3 or 4 Siemens T100 teleprinters (it can support up to 16).
Apart from functioning as a 60's/70's telex exchange, it can send and
receive e-mails, and therefore we can in principle update e.g. our facebook
status.
The e-mail recipients are defined as a number on the exchange, and then this
number is connected to a table, where the e-mail address is defined.
When receiving, the e-mail is to be sent to the museum at the address
(example) telex at museum.dk. In the commentline,the text must be ZCZC
<telexnumber>
Works like a dream. An identical system is installed at the danish it museum
(
www.ddhf.dk)
Theres is of course a limit : characters only, but special characters can be
translated on the fly
That reminds about the gateway between MILTEX (Swedish military
telex-network) , the procedure to send a message from one teleprinter to
an telefax terminal was the same (i have forgotten what the address
was.)
