> I think telegram is not equal to telex I tried to point out that; at least here in Poland these services were running independently since one was terminated earlier and other one much later - thus, these of course weren't same but the technology used to deliver messages could be. Polish wikipedia mentions telex for telegrams and later WAN network run by Polish Post; smaller offices in the past would receive messages by phone and then manually fill out form that would be delivered to the recipient.
