This got bit-bucketed by ubc-ean's inews, so here's a repost: ===== In article <2359@dalcs.UUCP> lane@dalcs.UUCP (John Wright) writes [various things about EAN, UBC, and Sydney Development Corporation, mostly gleaned from the EAN directory service.] Let me clarify things a bit. EAN originated at UBC and is being jointly developed by UBC's EAN R&D Group, CDNnet (the Canadian EAN network), and Sydney Development Corporation. Sydney has the commercial rights to EAN. EAN is an X.400 implementation for BSD, SysV, VMS, VM/CMS, Guardian, and other OSs. It has been used internationally as the basis for several research networks. Since the original articles in this discussion were asking about X.400/ARPA gateways and RFC987 in particular, I should mention that the BSD version of EAN supports an RFC822 gateway, but it is not completely RFC987 compatable, since it predates that standard by a couple of years. If you are interested, there are a couple of people you could contact, depending on who you are. People looking to use EAN for commercial purposes should contact one of Sydney's sales people at the address below. Universities should contact CDNnet Headquarters: Address: CDNnet Headquarters Computing Centre University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC CANADA V6T 1W5 Phone: (604) 228-6537 Mail: cdnnet-hq@ean.ubc.cdn or ean-help@ean.ubc.cdn for technical questions. ===== Sydney's X.400 salespeople are Bob Bostrom (contact for Canada and overseas (either sea!)) and Bob Mealey (contact for the U.S.A.)
