Daily news, Greek-Canadian community news, the name of the day, Montreal weather with radar and cloud maps, and weather alerts, in the 40-column page format of the French Minitel, delivered at the pace of a 1200 bit per second line.
Open the Minitel edition (opens in a new tab).
The link opens a Minitel emulator hosted by MiniPavi on minipavi.fr, connected to our own gateway. That page is not ours: it loads a Dailymotion video player and Google's IMA advertising scripts. If you would rather not load them, use a real Minitel or a desktop emulator (below).
If the link does not connect, open
https://www.minipavi.fr/emulminitel/indexws.php
and type wss://videotex.greektimes.ca/ws as the address.
| Enter | ENVOI (send a number at once) |
| Home | SOMMAIRE (main menu) |
| Arrow Up | RETOUR (back) |
| Tab or Arrow Down | SUITE (next page) |
| Backspace | CORRECTION |
| Escape | ANNULATION |
| F1 | GUIDE (help) |
| F2 | REPETITION (redraw) |
Type a number to choose an item; after a moment it opens by itself, or press Enter to open it at once. To leave, use the emulator's on-screen Cnx/fin button, or choose 9 then 3 from the main menu. After five minutes without a key the session says goodbye.
A Minitel with a telnet-mode adapter, or a desktop Minitel emulator, can
reach the service directly: server videotex.greektimes.ca,
port 516.
The same name also serves our NAPLPS (North American videotex) edition on
port 1983.
The web route runs on MiniPavi, the Minitel gateway by Jean-Arthur Silve (GPL), which we run on our own server. The browser emulator on minipavi.fr is MiniPavi's adaptation of MiEdit by Frédéric Bisson. Our pages are written from the Minitel specification by The Montreal Greek Times.
