This got bit-bucketed by ubc-ean's inews, so here's a repost:
=====
In article <2359@dalcs.UUCP> lane@dalcs.UUCP (John Wright) writes
[various things about EAN, UBC, and Sydney Development Corporation, mostly
gleaned from the EAN directory service.]
Let me clarify things a bit. EAN originated at UBC and is being jointly
developed by UBC's EAN R&D Group, CDNnet (the Canadian EAN network), and
Sydney Development Corporation. Sydney has the commercial rights to EAN.
EAN is an X.400 implementation for BSD, SysV, VMS, VM/CMS, Guardian, and
other OSs. It has been used internationally as the basis for several research
networks. Since the original articles in this discussion were asking about
X.400/ARPA gateways and RFC987 in particular, I should mention that the
BSD version of EAN supports an RFC822 gateway, but it is not completely
RFC987 compatable, since it predates that standard by a couple of years.
If you are interested, there are a couple of people you could contact,
depending on who you are. People looking to use EAN for commercial
purposes should contact one of Sydney's sales people at the address below.
Universities should contact CDNnet Headquarters:
