Subject: asking information on using ISDN to work at home.
Organisation: SURFnet bv
Address: Cluetinckborch, P.O. Box 19035, 3501 DA Utrecht, NL

Hello all of you,
Because we are going to set up a small pilot for testing
'ISDN to work at home', I would like to hear if other people
already did similar experiments. We already have seen the
results from UCL, Graham Knight, but we hope to hear from
other people as well.
What equipment will we use:
We want to work at our home in (almost;-) the same way as at
the office. The equipment at home is Euro-ISDN and PC (386)
and Mac. No other hardware is yet available, but we are thin-
king of using SCII Telecom, Datavoice PC/MAC cards (if these
cards can meet our requirements, see below).
We just want to dial in the IP network (using PPP) and X.25
network (just using X.25 and not [yet] X.31) of SURFnet bv.
For that purpose we will put Terminal Adapters on the IP and
X.25 network, so that one can dial in at 64 kbps.
The applications we would like to use are:
- for IP
PC: IP: PCTCP of FTP Inc. (crynwyr-packet-driver),
X.500: DE, news: trumpet or wtrumpet (using winsoc-
kets), popmail: nupop or pce10a15, X-windows: ex-
ceed/w (using PCTCP or winsockets).
X.25: PAD or VT, and X.400: Route 400
TUBA: NSCA (crynwyr-packet driver)
Mac: IP: NCSA or Fetch, X.500: MacX500, news: Nuntius,
gopher: Sextant, Popmail, X-windows: MacX
Most of the traffic is thus client-server (and in some cases
LAN-LAN). For client-server traffic, it is handy to have ISDN
equipment that is able to optimize the use of the public ISDN
network (so that it will put the ISDN connection when no
traffic is there and opens the connection when traffic is
provided by server/client, without disturbing the applica-
tion). Be aware though, that the equipment will have to be
interoperatable with equipment that does not have that
optimizing function.
Now what is most important: Is there hardware on the Mac or
PC available that have such capabilities??? What we find very
important is that the driver provided with the ISDN hardware-
cards are compatible with the driver-access needs of the
above applications.
Hope somebody can help me with references, hints, equipment,
operation aspects, etc. about the ISDN for working at home
experiment.
All the best,
Victor
