- Yes, certainly... Well, almost. I have seen examples of commercial
- e-mail systems, presumably unable to speak to each other directly,
- exchanging mail via telex...
-
- Another case: telex is pretty widespread in the former SU (and in many
- developing countries, I guess), and I think much commercial e-mail
- traffic originating in X.400 or whatever gets relayed to such
- destinations via telex by various gateways. I don't now how
- bi-directional these kinds of gateways are, though.
-
- Isn't (radio) telex also widespread onboard merchant ships? Are there
- connections to this "network" from e-mail systems?
