Doesn't ring a bell... not to say it didn't exist, but it probably wasn't very large at the time.
It was dial-up service and web site. It wasn't very big, but i think it was around for some time. This is the best i could find: https://variety.com/1995/digital/features/europe-online-gets-at-amp-t-dialtone-99124960/
Interesting, thanks for digging that up. Looks like it didn't pan out. At least in France, they arrived just as the local market was building itself, and it seems they didn't manage to get a foot in the door. Maybe they got more lucky in other markets.
