You mean that device that completely stifled the development of the internet in France in the '90s because France Telecom was still pushing paid for telematic services over a slow (1200 baud down, 75 baud up) line?

Thankfully, the infrastructure in France caught up massively once the minitel had died its death. I remember in Chinon back in 2004 getting connection speeds that equalled and sometimes surpassed what I'm getting today in the UK, and I got phone calls to about 30 countries at no charge on top of my internet subscription.
