- On Page 37 of Australian Communications December/January 1992-3 I find the
- following tidbit:
-
- X.400 Group to Speed E-Mail
-
- A new group has been formed to develop a standard way to send X.400
- electronic mail across ordinary telephone networks. Called the Asynchronous
- Protocol Specification (APS) Aliance. The group was formed in late October
- at the Electronic Messaging Association conference by Isocor, an e-mail
- developer, and Norwegian Telecom. If an APS specification results the group
- will make it available to the public domain and will propose it to the CCITT
- for formal standardisation. Other companies involved in the alliance include
- Apple, Microsoft, British Telecom, DBP Telekom, Transpac and Thompson Syseca.
-
- Some that was hard to read on the fax copy I got so spellings might be slightly
- wrong. Does anyone know:
-
- 1. Of this group?
- 2. A contact for this group?
- 3. An idea of what the spec will be based on - i.e. seeing that X.25
- across asynchronous lines is now blessed by ISO as a standard.
