Sorry! I'm working on a pilot project with Professor Larry Landweber to bring X.400 software to up to 40 university and government research sites on the Internet. We're presently funded by NASA. We have a license agreement with IBM that allows us to distribute 20 copies of the X.400(84) software that was developed at the University of Wisconsin. This software supports a user interface that based on ucb/mail, and stores messages in ASN.1 (binary) format instead of ascii. We are running ISO Session over TCP/IP using RFC1006. The software is currently installed and running at the UW and the NSF in Washington, DC. Rice University is installing the software. We are working on getting license agreements signed with several other sites. We are presently working on experimental X.400 connections with the European RARE WG1 and R&D MHS Managers using RFC1006 over TCP/IP. We plan to incorporate PP into our experiment when it becomes available. At some point in the future we hope to run directly on top of TP4/CLNP. We are still recruiting sites to join our pilot project and install and use X.400. If you are interested in joining or would like more information, please email me or give me a call. We are looking for sites that will commit to using the software. allan -- Allan Cargille Computer Sciences Department Associate Researcher University of Wisconsin-Madison Internet X.400 Project 1210 West Dayton Street cargille@cs.wisc.edu Madison, WI 53706 uwvax!cargille +1 (608) 262 5084
