CURRENTLY KNOWN X.400 IMPLEMENTATIONS

$Revision: 1.8 $
$Date: 1993/01/01 03:00:06 $

NOTE: The information below does NOT form any recommendation of any
specific product. It is simply a collection of statements that have
been made about products, mostly by E-mail to the maintainer of this
group. It is neither complete nor exhaustive, and carries NO guarantees.

FREE IMPLEMENTATIONS
====================

The current free implementation of X.400 is PP, from University
College London.
It is also an SMTP mailer, and a gateway between these, so you can
communicate with "both worlds".

You can FTP PP from ftp.psi.com (isode/pp-6.0.tar.Z), from nic.eu.net
(network/isode/pp-6.0.tar.Z) or from a lot of other sites. It is also
available on FTAM, UK NIFTP and tape.

Support:    pp-support@cs.ucl.ac.uk
Discussion: pp-people@cs.ucl.ac.uk, mail pp-people-request to join.

If you have an IBM VM system, you might be interested in QK-MHS from
Queen's university at Kingston created by Andy Hooper.
It is listed below as QK-MHS.

OTHER IMPLEMENTATIONS
=====================

There are a *lot* of commercial and licenseable implementations for
various platforms; below is a partial list.

Additions are VERY welcome!!!!!!!!
