27.0. "vax x400 to bs2000 x400 ?" by BRSSWS::MYLLE () Mon Jul 03 1989 16:32

We are trying to exchange mails between a BS2000 system that makes use of
an office application called CONNECT and A1 on the vax.
The producer of CONNECT says they can produce x400 mail output. So, since
siemens has a x400 product and we have a x400 product, could there be any
problem to exchange mails between them ??
Is there a site where this x400 connection is already made ?
We have the intention to use vots and psi/ethernet as the physical layer.

idea's ?

thanks

27.2TSAP-id's could be a problem MUNICH::KLOEPPERVera Kloepper/Net&Comms-SupportMon Jul 10 1989 11:3421
    
    The BS2000 X.400 software we tested with - was for Siemens internal use
    only. Name AKOM !
    
    So - for the connection you are trying I can give you only one tip:
    
    The Siemens OSI transport supports only ebcdi-code TSAP's and they
    havn't any help to put in a TSAP in binary.
    
    On the VAX-MRX side there isn't any help for an binary TSAP as well,
    because X.400 defines the TSAP as IA5 digits.
    MRX supports all IA5 characters so you can choose the following TSAP
    id's for BS2000 and VMS/MRX:
    
    	BS2000 8x # (hex: 7B ebcdic)
    	VAX    8x { (hex: 7B ascii)
    
    8x, because every TSAP at the Siemens side has to 8 Byte long.
