Did you have free Unix terminals over 3605? I'm curious. Having a remote Unix account for free over minitel would be a godsend.

Yes, these were pretty rare and l33t ;-)

There were a couple, a university AIX, a CDC NOS/VE with IP connectivity, etc...

Basically, free international comms back in the 90s!

I know. Free usenet, mail, IRC... at a gratis cost in the 90's would be like a godsend. You lucky...

Nahh... it was really hard work^W fun to get them ;-)
