- The next version of X.25 is said to include an async version of LAPB.
- The async HDLC variant is already defined in the 1991 Version of
- ISO 3309, so I don't expect anything revolutionaly new in X.25(92).
- Contact me, if you want a short description of async HDLC framing.
-
- If you want to use the telephone net for CONS, check ISO 10732. For
- CONS over ISDN, look at ISO 9574. They mostly refer to X.25 and define
- a few additional details.
-
- A work group (APS Aliance) is working on additional specifications for
- using X.400 over the telephone net. This will perhaps eventually result
- in a CCITT standard.
-
- If you prefer CLNP, check the latest PPP version. It supports OSI in addition
- to TCP/IP.
