********************************************** HOW TO ACCESS MINITEL OR HOW TO HAVE FUN ON QSD ********************************************** To reach the famous french CHAT system called QSD there are many different ways such as through X.25 with the NUA 0208057040540 or calling QSD direct from some european countries. There is of course another way that I will describe here in that file. First some background infos: QSD is, as mentioned above a french host that was designed to be reached through X.25 AND through the TELETEL NET, which is called MINITEL in france. Now, this MINITEL is accessable through the international INFONET. On INFONET, MINITEL is run by the Minitel Services Company - MSC (ever seen the USER - [USA/MSC] on QSD ?!). Included in this file is a list of dial-ups for almost every areacode. Once you login, with a dumb terminal emulation, you will be prompted with a "#". Enter a "x" and press return, now the prompt changes and you'll get an asterix, press ".vt" now and follow the menus to register yourself BY SIMPLY ENTERING A CREDITCARD (either MC or VISA). After you succeded filling in the form you'll get an account a temporary password that will last for 10 days. If it expires, just get a new account ! Ok, now, as you're a subscriber you can enter "P5" as access code for the so called 3615 services. Now you have to turn on your Minitel Emulation Software (sorry, but I only have the Amiga version) and press return again. You will be asked for a service that you wanna access, type "QSD" for example and hit the "Envoi" key. And then enjoy the QSD......
