Hello all,
I have here in my hand an SPD (Software Product Description) from DIGITAL
claiming that they have an X.400 mail product for Ultrix.
Highlights:

- Uses a pathced MH as an user interface
- Can connect over WAN with an X.25router
- Can connect over LAN with ISO 8802.3

The price seems nice when you get an university discount....
Now for the questions:
- Do any of you know someone who has used it?
- What is an X.25router?
  (cost, benefit....)
- What do they use BETWEEN TP4 and ISO 8802.3????`
- Have anyone told them about RFC1006, and what was the response?
- Is it significantly better than using EAN?

Any pointers, hints etcetera appreciated...
