Not much experience with the PSTN but would assume that between exchanges multiplexed narrow band fm would have been used. Nowadays if telex was required then time division multiplex would be the system, telex being far slower than the bit rates available. There was an international half speed telex system in the 70s and I recollect that exchanges would introduce 'nulls' in the traffic which caused severe problems with synchronised cryption systems.
