3210.0. "SUPPORT OF 2_WAY-ALTERNATE FOR FRANCE" by ATYV01::LEBRUN () Thu Jun 05 1997 19:39

        We have to state rapidly if 2-WAY alternate functionality is 
        intended to be supported on MailbUS 400
        
        If yes in which release and with which interoprability ?

    Hi,
    
    	yes, MAILbus 400 V2.1 will include Two Way Alternate (TWA).
    
    For details about the V2.1 release, please contact Geoff Oades (@REO).
    
    Cheers

    �with which interoprability ?
    
    Hmm. What does this mean? We will interoperate with (the few) other
    MTAs that support the X.400 definition of TWA. The developers working
    on TWA would be interested in knowing of any specific requirements (and
    potential peers with whom we could test TWA). Again, please contact Geoff
    Oades or the development manager, Carl Evans (also @REO) with any info.

    Hmm. What does this mean? We should interoperate with (the few) other
    MTAs that support the X.400 definition of TWA. That's what standards
    are supposed to be about. There may be problems in practice, but the
    only way an implementer can avoid these is by advance-warning and
    testing.
    
    The developers working on TWA would be interested in knowing of any
    specific interworking requirements (and potential peers with whom we
    could test TWA). Is there, for example, a big French supplier or group
    of suppliers that we need to work with? Again, please contact Geoff
    Oades or the development manager, Carl Evans (also @REO) with any info.

re .0 and .1

Note this is still a "future".  You should discuss with Geoff Oades what is
possible and prudent to tell the customer at this time, before releasing any
information about our possible future implementation of TWA.
