AT&T PACKET NET PROMISED BY YEAR-END,
Computerworld, Feb. 6, p. 11.  AT&T has
announced that its Accunet Packet Service will
be available nationwide by the end of l984
through a six-node network.  It is already
available in New York and Chicago.  The service
upgrades AT&T's Basic Packet Switching Services
(BPSS), allows users to share switching and
transmission facilities, and includes 4,800
bit/sec service.  Accunet does not include
protocol conversion because of the FCC's Second
Computer Inquiry limitation, but it will be
directly accessible by any terminal or customer
host computer that supports the CCITT X.25
standard set of essential features.  Support
for the CCITT X.75 internetwork protocol will
be added in l985.
