I am working on some X.25 network terminal software, and would like some
details on X.3 and X.29 as they relate to setting different modes of
processing on the remote PAD.
The software is a VT-100 emulation which runs on Unisys B-2x/B-3x (BTOS/CTOS)
systems using the X.25 gateway server to access remote resources. Anyone
interested in the end product should drop me a line. (will be available)
My reading knowledge of French is non-existent, so CCITT docs may not meet the
need. Specifically I want to know:
- What terminal/pad behaviors can be changed
- What subset of same is best to provide for
Many thanks,
Jon McCown

Pardon? (Pronounced in French, of course!) CCITT Recommendations
("docs") are published in English, French and Spanish simultaneously.
Call your favorite telco and order Fascicle VIII.2 of the CCITT Blue
Book. It costs something around CHF 50, convert to USD at will. If
you're really pressed, you can order them from the United Nations
Bookstore at 1 U.N. Plaza, New York, NY, don't remember their phone
number.
This Fascicle contains all three Recommendations and is a must if you
want to deal with X.25.

They are published in three dialects of "Standardese", each of which borrows a grammar and a lexicon from one of English, French, and Spanish. However, a working knowledge of these languages is hardly sufficient for reading a CCITT document }:-> Dave

However, last year I bought a small volume, "Painless Packet Switching", by Bo Lindgren, [INFOTRANS AB], which, although a tranlation from Swedish, concisely summarizes the relevant standards in an easy to understand format. It's an expensive little book, but then, most technical materials are. I found it worth the investment, and have actually used it in the specification and evaluation of X.25 PAD products. _________________________________________________ Daniel Upthegrove danup@runxtsa.runx.oz.au a.k.a.

You can also order them from:

Vienna, VA 22180 USA
+1 (703) 281-1135
That's where I get mine, 'cause I can use my company AMEX card and have
them in a couple of days.
P.S. Has anyone else noticed that the 1988 X.25 is riddled with errors, at
least as compared with prior years?
