Subject: TELEX Codes

    You are probably slightly out of date with reference to monthly
    charges on Western Union Telex. Their Easy-Link service has no monthly
    charges whatsoever and is much more flexible both in terms of types of
    messages and structure of the system than is MCI Mail. There is no
    application fee and they supply two thick volumes of Telex numbers.

MCI Mail has no application fee, or a montly fee, or even a fee to read
mail. The only charges are for sending mail out.

I suppose the directory would be useful, but they can be bought. Easylink
(and I've done *lots* of work with it) is quite user-hostile as far as
protocol and such. I prefer MCI Mail.
