Publisher's Synopsis
The traditional face of Telex has changed radically over the last few years. To overcome many of the traditional limitations of Telex, Teletex was developed. Both offer significant opportunities to improve internal and external communications by integrating text production with transmission. The Telex 'black box', specialised packages, Telex bureaux, links to electronic mail and Prestel, message switches, and communications work stations are just some of the options available for integrating IT equipment with the Telex network.;This handbook provides detailed information about the options, features and equipment required. It provides answers to such questions as: What is the new Teletex facility? Are there any cost advantages and benefits over Telex? How do users access it? What are the pros and cons of purpose-built terminals, 'family' adaptors, or 'configurable' adaptors? Managers are thus provided with information which will enable them to make the right choice for their organisation and take full advantage of the text transmission facilities now available.
