From what I understand about both Sun's and TWG's X.400 products
as well as some other similar ones you are almost always in the
position of gatewaying between the two communities and that being
well known to the users of the system.  In some cases (IBM's
AIX 3.0?) there is a user agent that is intented to apear as if
it is in both communities and provide access to the various
service elements --- presumably this is done by with a gateway
and some special extensions to carry information from the
community that the UA is really in to the other....

does that help?
