Abstract
The first part of this contribution quantifies and classifies the computer installations in Portugal, and points out their geographical distribution. We then describe the characteristics of the tradicional data communication circuits provided by the Portuguese PTT.
The portuguese packet switching public data network, Telepac, is then described. A mention is made of some national contributions to that network. Finally, some future telematic services that might be offered by the Portuguese PTT are mentioned.
