This article was previously published under Q104282
SUMMARY
Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 has implemented connectivity over TP4/CLNP/802.3 (Transport Class 4/Connectionless Network Protocol/Ethernet.) This is in addition to the TP0/X.25/X.121 connectivity provided in earlier releases of the gateway.
MORE INFORMATION
The X.400 gateway supports multiple connections (two incoming and one outgoing) on either of these transports. These transport stacks are implemented according to International Standards Organization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) specifications:
