Interesting remark.
Actually, Minitel was first the French e-yeallow pages. When you have found 
the name by soundex, address in he stree, activity, trade mark etc.. you 
name it, you just hit one key and it is riging.
Actually I do profer using Minitel service rather than memorizing telephone 
numbers. I call the people using their name. Should be supported sometimes 
by the Internet, once it has become a network instead of an access system: 
tel://ibm.com is the regiular telephone address for the IBM PABX... unless 
some IETF geeks and Verisign have their ways to use ENUM.
