And Videotex is what we call Bildschirmtext, the online service? I know that there were several levels of this service, so probably an older version allowed only simple text and block graphics, and CEPT is the newer one. I know that they replaced it sometimes later with KIT, which was finally fully capable of displaying graphics, but that is obsolote now as well since they want to be an Internet provider now.
