Could someone explain how Minitel apps worked in detail, or provide a link? I understand it's based on duplex serial communication over modem, yet isn't tty-like (not every keystroke is transferred) but then how does the terminal know at which point to expect/enable input fields, etc? Is it similar to 3270?
