I suspect that the Q3 you are referring to is the *reference point* Q3, it
is not a standard itself, but defined by Q.941 or thereabouts (Q.94?).
There is also a Q1 and Q2 reference point. There is no connection between
the Q in Q3 and the Q in Q.941, that is purely coincidal. (The I series
recommendations define similar R, S and T reference points.)

I do not have Q.941 available right now, but as far as I remember, Q3
defines the lowest level functionality between a switch and an "MD" (Mediation
Device, something like a concentrator), on the way to the management system,
while Q1 is the functionality available at the user level system management.

If you are not accustomed to reading CCITT recommendations, Q.94? is
NOT the place to start!
