   On Page 37 of Australian Communications December/January 1992-3 I find the
following tidbit:

  X.400 Group to Speed E-Mail

  A new group has been formed to develop a standard way to send X.400
  electronic mail across ordinary telephone networks. Called the Asynchronous
  Protocol Specification (APS) Aliance. The group was formed in late October
  at the Electronic Messaging Association conference by Isocor, an e-mail
  developer, and Norwegian Telecom. If an APS specification results the group
  will make it available to the public domain and will propose it to the CCITT
  for formal standardisation. Other companies involved in the alliance include
  Apple, Microsoft, British Telecom, DBP Telekom, Transpac and Thompson Syseca.

Some that was hard to read on the fax copy I got so spellings might be slightly
wrong. Does anyone know:

	1. Of this group?
	2. A contact for this group?
	3. An idea of what the spec will be based on - i.e. seeing that X.25
	across asynchronous lines is now blessed by ISO as a standard.


		Thanks
