X.200 is the CCITT standard describing the OSI Reference Model
(the famous seven layers of networking). The whole X.2?? series of
recommendations describe the OSI protocols, ASN.1, etc. There are
equivalent versions of these standards from ISO.

I hope that most of your questions will be answered by the FAQ that I am
preparing (it has already >600 lines :-). But I won't have the time to
finish it in the next 3-4 weeks, so stay tuned ...

You might of course use this time for reading a good book, eg.
