- Oh. I haven't seen any actual X.500 implementation, but:
-
- -How will I get access to names of users at other sites
-
- -Will I do interactive lookups over public X.25 in perhaps 2400bps ?
-
- -Will my PTT, which thinks it owns x.400 allow me to talk to ANYBODY at all.
-
- -How do I do store&forward mail, still using x.500 ?
-
- Anybody have a clue ?
