I am beginning to hear something about a protocol called 'XTP' in relation to FDDI. Does anyone know if this is available or still being worked, and if so where? I know zero about it and am interested in knowing if it is: * similar in services to TCP * datagram or connection oriented * what does getting X windows to know about it involve thanks Doug Toppin uunet!melpar!toppin

Does anyone >know if this is available or still being worked, XTP 3.4 protocol spec is available to anyone who wants it by sending the request to xtp-relay@pei.com You should provide your postal address. Tapes of the protocol implementations in Sun and SGI versions are available to members of the Technical Advisory Board. TAB is a consortium of about 20 companies, universities and government bodies which are interested in the development of XTP. For more information send your queries to xtp-relay@pei.com >and if so where?

Given that, the changes to the client and server code are very minimal. > >thanks >Doug Toppin >uunet!melpar!toppin
