I haven't heard much about CCITT protocols getting much acceptance in UNIX circles lately, with the exception of the EAN message system from the University of British Columbia C.S. Department. It has been installed at several sites, and is available for a reasonable fee. This got me wondering: (1) Does anyone in net-land know of an implementation of CCITT protocols (X.25 for [say] a DMF-32 as a network interface, or X.224/X.225 network/transport socket code, or an X.410 (et. al.) mailer)? (2) If yes, how is it and are sources available? (3) Is there enough interest on the net to start a group specifically about CCITT/ISO standards and their implementations? (Hallo Europe? Canada?) I had heard that the Swedish PTT (Post, Telegraph & Telephone) had implemented it, but I thought that was heresay. Thanks for any info in advance.

I have tried to cross post this message to net.news.group, as I believe it must be the proper group for this discussion. Regards Soren Rabbe AmbraSoft A/S Denmark - Europe!
