	If there is a system running OSI in one location and another
	system also running OSI in another location, is it possible
	to do transfer files via FTAM (or send mail via X.400) using
	something other than X.25 or a LAN ?

	In other words is there something for making temporary connections
	over phone lines for OSI much like SLIP does for TCP/IP (and
	async DECNET does for DECNET) ?

	I understand that whatever connection is set up, it will be very
	slow in comparison to X.25 or LAN.

	Thanks for any answers.
