X.PC is a multiplexing protoocol Tymnet is particularly fond of.
If you call your local Tymnet public dialin and connect to the
information service, you can ask it for documentation on X.PC:

? END OF FILE ON DSK
(8A5,2I7) 
LAST FORTRAN I-O AT USER LOC 010505
EXIT

Well, maybe not.  I guess this is all I can get at the moment:

PUBLICATION NAME                                     DATE   PUB NUMBER    PRICE
X.PC Protocol Specifications-V1.00                   9/83   DN000269.93A   2.00

(plus shipping & handling, etc.)

Tymnet also sells modems that implement X.PC in firmware:

Modem Name:   Models 224 X.PC (933) and 224 X.PC MUX (934)  
Vendor:       Concord, distributed by Tymnet 
Address:      2560 N. First Street San Jose, CA  95161-9019 
     
Modem Name:   Model 2400-33 MNP/X.PC E-PROM X030  
Vendor:       Ven-Tel, distributed by Tymnet 
Address:      2560 N. First Street San Jose, CA  95161-9019 

Anyway, call your local Tymnet sales office.


Another place to look is on WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in the
PD1:<MSDOS.MODEM> and PD1:<MSDOS.XPC> directories.  These are
available for anonymous FTP, and there is archive server access
(I think details are posted regularly to comp.binaries.ibm.pc).
There are apparently software implementations and documentation
here.
