[comp.protocols.misc] X.PC?

rogers@ncrcce.StPaul.NCR.COM (Bob Rogers) (03/14/89)

Does anybody know of implementations of Tymnet's X.PC protocol other than on
Tymnet itself and other than in PC communications programs designed to be
used with Tymnet?  Have any other networks adopted X.PC?  Has X.PC been
implemented on any non-MS/DOS systems?

Thanks.

Control Data's network product CDCNET supports X.PC for directly connected
(modem or null modem) PCs.  Support for X.PC via X.25 connection is in
development.  CDCNET requires at least one CDC 170/180 mainframe, but can
connect to other hosts via TCP/IP.  We also support a terminal emulator for
the Macintosh that can use X.PC protocol.
