This raises the question: is there still /anyone/ around who uses the
CEPT home banking protocol?

This entire port started out basically as a German protocol, by a time
when CEPT/btx ("Bildschirmtext") used to be about the only possible
way to access many homebanking facilities.  The Deutsche Telekom has
stopped offering this service many years ago, but when I asked about
possibly removing the port last time, I've been told to hold on since
there has still been other European countries offering that service.
If I recall correctly, it's at least been in use in France back then.

So the question now again, several years later: are there still *any*
users of comms/xcept around?  If nobody speaks up, I'd like to remove
the port because it doesn't make any much sense anymore to keep it
alive.
