RE: Blast from the past2001-01-27 15:40:02In the 1980s we ran an X.400 to SMTP-RFC822 mail gateway at Wisconsin. This was during the height of the Internet / OSI protocol wars. Earlier, we also ran a BITNET to Internet mail gateway. Both used software developed at Wisconsin (an IBM VM internet protocol implementation (WISCNET) for VM for the latter and a BSD Unix implementation of the ISO/OSI protocols for the latter). Address format, protocol tranlations and option handling were a challenge.
