[comp.protocols.iso.dev-environ] Retix - Isode communication.

Hi,

Does anybody have any experience with communication between Isode and Retix
protocol stacks. Is it possible at all? Which lower layer configurations do
they have in common?

Regards,

Hi,

I did a lot of FTAM testing between Isode and a RETIX stack ported by NCR to its tower
range of machine. After the first problems to set well the addresses, I found some bugs in 
the RETIX stack and in Isode, mainly at the application level (a small correction was neccesary at the NCR transport layer to support the long addresses generated by the 
transport bridge), but generally it work quite well.

We worked with TP0 over public X.25, between Belgium and Luxembourg, I don't have chances to 
test with TP4 (LAN..) as the NCR FTAM do not support TP4 and I don't know if RETIX support
somehow RFC 1006.

If both stack are well installed, the only problem you have is to set up the various 
addresses.

I hope it help...

stack.
