  • Viewdata/Videotex

    Anyone around that used to use Videotex/Viewdata sytems? Mostly the UK based Prestel but there were a few others, some local governments ran such systems and a few independent free BBS's had a viewdata mode and of course and there were commercial ones too, famously, The Gnome at Home.

    I'm especially interested in people who have a good memory and can recall some of the features and IPs (Information Providers) such as Viewfax 258, Clubspot 810 and, of course, Micronet 800.
