Oh. I haven't seen any actual X.500 implementation, but: 

-How will I get access to names of users at other sites

-Will I do interactive lookups over public X.25 in perhaps 2400bps ?

-Will my PTT, which thinks it owns x.400 allow me to talk to ANYBODY at all.

-How do I do store&forward mail, still using x.500 ?

Anybody have a clue ?
