[comp.protocols.iso] API for OSI

news@nttlab.ntt.JP (news) (09/01/89)

Are there any other APIs for OSI protocols other than FTAM ?
    API for MHS
    API for ODA
    API for TP  etc. 
I would like to know whether above APIs exist as spesifications or not and 
what bodys (standardization organization or company) are developping above
APIs.

We have an API for ODA, as well as some software that implements much of
it. If all goes well, the API will be part of a book from Springer
Verlag and the software will be on the next X tape.

X.400 API Association has announced X.400 Gateway API (June 89).
They will be working on X.400 Application API (ie MTS/MS interface).
X.500 API is being undertaken by X/Open.
IEEE is also looking at other OSI APIs.

Hope this is helpful.
