I'm interested in finding out more about X.400 and have some questions regarding X.400 in the U.S.. 1. where would one be able to find a X.400 feed (ADMD or PRMD) in the U.S.? 2. what agency/group decides on X.400 addressing in the U.S.? what addressing schemes exist ? 3. is that agency/group also responsible for deciding on who can become an ADMD in the U.S. ? since the U.S. doesn't have a PTT, can I assume that there are more than one ADMD's in the U.S. ? 4. what are some of the ADMD's in the U.S. ? how do they interconnect with ADMD's in other countries ? do any of them internetwork with other message services, such as the Internet ? 5. has any of the ADMD's in the U.S. already committed themselves to the X.400 (88) standard ? If anyone can send me some info by E-Mail, I could summarize them on the net. Thanks, -ingo /* Ingo Cyliax ECN, Electrical Engineering Bldg. * * cyliax@ecn.purdue.edu Purdue University, W.

Most of the major public mail providers (Telenet's Telemail, MCI Mail, etc) have announced availability of or plans for X.400 capability. This provides the ADMD capability. PRMD is used when a company has its own private mail network. > 2. what agency/group decides on X.400 addressing in the U.S.? what > addressing schemes exist ? The X.400 standard provides the addressing formats. As far as actual address contents, there is currently no agency that has responsibility for this. > 3. is that agency/group also responsible for deciding on who > can become an ADMD in the U.S. ? since the U.S. doesn't > have a PTT, can I assume that there are more than one ADMD's > in the U.S. ? There are and will be several ADMDs. Fortunately for the users, the ADMDs are beginning to work together so they can exchange mail. That means that if you use MCIMail and your buddy uses Telemail, you can still talk to each other (or will be able to) > 4. what are some of the ADMD's in the U.S. ? how do they interconnect I have used 2 as examples. Rather than try to make a comprehensive list and then leave some out I recommend you contact the Electronic Mail Association, 1555 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 555, Arlington, VA 22209-2405 to get specific information. > with ADMD's in other countries ? do any of them internetwork with > other message services, such as the Internet ? You'll have to check with each mail provider to see what connections they have with other providers in the US and outside of the US. > 5. has any of the ADMD's in the U.S. already committed themselves to > the X.400 (88) standard ? > Committed - yes.

I don't suppose that the Electronic Mail Association is, um,
email-accessible for such information?

STEF/KARL -- Thanks. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We're just back from quite an interesting few days in Florida where we held a joint meeting with the European Electronic Mail Association. Mel Marsh was a prominent speaker and participant in the meeting, Karl, by the way. Other excellent contributions were made by Marshall Rose, Steve Wolff, Leon Hendriks of the Dutch PTT, and Gabriel Barta of the European EDIFICE users group, among others. What can we help you with? -- MIKE CAVANAGH

Karl, it's not nice to ask obviously embarassing questions like this.
