MAILbus 400 Message Store V1.0 on DEC OSF/1

HIGHLIGHTS

o  Access via P7 protocol to electronic messages at any time, whether from
   workplace PC or from remote laptop computer over public carrier network

o  Supports Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and is conformant to CCITT
   1991 Standard X.435 and International Standard ISO/IEC 10021-9

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MAILbus 400 Message Store V1.0 (SPD 51.22.00) provides an easy-to-use,
reliable, and secure temporary storage mechanism that enables local, remote,
and mobile users to have access at any time to their electronic messages. It
supports up to 10,000 users with 100 simultaneous connections.

The Message Store is a layered software product operating on the DEC OSF/1
AXP platform and working in conjunction with MAILbus 400 Message Transfer
Agent (MTA) and DEC X.500 Directory Service. It accepts the delivery of
messages and reports from MAILbus 400 MTA and stores them on behalf of its
users. The Message Store accesses the DEC X.500 Directory to identify and
authenticate users.

Remote users can access the Message Store through multiple X.400, P7
conformant user agents to retrieve, list, scan, submit, or delete messages
or reports of any content type.

BENEFITS

o  Users have an easy, reliable, and very cost-effective method of sending
   and receiving information electronically and achieving effective
   communications with their staff.

o  Because the Message Store supports the P7 protocol and EDI X.435 MS
   constructs, any X.400 user agent or EDI application supporting these
   protocols can utilize the MAILbus 400 Message Store.

o  Users can provide a fast turnaround on requests for quotes, purchase
   orders, and similar customer requirements and thus gain a vital
   competitive edge. Increased access to electronic messaging services and
   information also enables users to improve their business effectiveness
   and employee productivity generally.

TECHNICAL DATA

MAILbus 400 Message Store is Digital's implementation of the X.400 Message
Store as defined in CCITT Recommendation X.413 and International Standard
ISO/IEC 10021-5. It implements the content specific functionality defined
for IPMs (interpersonal messages) in CCITT Recommendation X.420 and
International Standard ISO/IEC 10021-7, and defined for EDI messages in
CCITT Recommendation X.435 and International Standard ISO/IEC 10021-9. These
standards include the P7 Protocol definition. P7 is an OSI application
protocol, so it expects an OSI stack -- which for remote users means an X.25
connection. The APS asynchronous protocol is not currently supported by
DECnet/OSI.

Any user agent conforming to the P7 protocols will operate with MAILbus 400
Message Store. The MaXware 400 UA-FI (user agent - file interface),
Alprange's Remote User Agent for Windows, and ISOCOR's ISOMAIL 800 RUA
(Remote User Agent) have been tested with Digital's MAILbus 400 Message
Store. Laptop computers can access the message store through the public
service network.

Prerequisites for the Message Store are as follows:

o  Any Alpha AXP system with DEC OSF/1 V2.0 operating system.

o  DECnet/OSI, MAILbus 400 MTA, and DEC X.500 Directory Service.
