This should rather be removed entirely:
- Last maintainer upload in 2003
Indeed, I tried to contact the maintainer a few months ago because
there's a problem under Ubuntu (xinetd and xteld issues, relatively easy
to fix & a bug has been filed on
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xtel/+bug/57303/) but I
never got a reply (and no error message either).
- 2 voting popcon users (most definitely NMUers/QA people only)
- Minitel has ceased commercial operation according to Wikipedia
end of 2006:
Yes, but this is an error, I'll have to correct it in Wikipedia. The
international access from http://www.minitelfr.com has ceased for
individuals, but in France, the Minitel network has still around 5
millions of Terminals and as much of emulators and it is still working.
Let alone these commercial services, there are still home run BBS-like
services, as an example see http://eureka.rxl1.com , where Xtel is
explicitly mentioned as a client for an access *via Internet*. So, IMHO,
Xtel shouldn't be removed any time soon. At worst, contact its author at
http://www.emulateur-xtel.org ...
For current activity of Minitel, you may also have a look at
http://www.minitel.com .
