Actually, it's not a web interface but is more like a BBS (remember
those?). It's called MiniTel, but it's not part of 'standard' telephones
at all; and according to www.minitel.fr, it looks like Minitel is being
migrated to a more standard ISP - type service. (see
http://www.stud.enst.fr/~meunier/images/min_enst.gif for a screenshot of
TeleTel)
