CURRENTLY KNOWN X.400 IMPLEMENTATIONS

$Revision: 1.3 $
$Date: 1992/08/16 19:46:40 $

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 uu.psi.com, from nic.eu.net 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.

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

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

Some keywords on those X.400 implementations I know more about:

EAN
---
X.400 MTA and User Agent.
Made at the University of British Columbia, Canada, in the Eighties.
The first X.400 implementation to get seriously used by anyone.
Currently, development is done at UBC and at SINTEF DELAB, Norway.
You need a license to run it, but the licensing situation is unclear.
M400 is the commercial product based on the original EAN.

PP
--
X.400 MTA, SMTP mailer, Grey Book (UK) mailer, UUCP mailer, and gateway
between all of the above. No user interface, can use SMTP based UAs.
Made at University College London.
Distribution is free and unlimited. You are even allowed to sell it!

any new messages has arrived) without actually running the UA.
Software for a supporting "remote UAs" (UAs running on a PC not
connected to the LAN, but e.g. via PSTN) is also available.
