Is this a public domain protocol?  I would like to get more information.
It was apparently developed by Tymnet and supported somewhat by Hayes
modems.  Does someone have the address of where to write to?

To get source to the X.PC distribution, write to:

	X.PC Distribution
	2560 N. 1st St.
	P.O. Box 49019
	San Jose, CA  95161-9019

When I got my copy in Sept. '87, it was $25 for the source diskette, 
and $25 for the object diskette.

Following up on X.PC distribution, Tymnet has two options for shipment:
for the $25 mentioned above, they ship your distribution at the end
of the next 6 weeks period.  For a surcharge, they FEDEX it out immediately.

The source code is in `C', but as the name implies, it is highly 
oriented to the PC environment.  The functionality within the source consists
of the X.PC link driver, X.PC network level, and a terminal PAD for both Tymnet
and MCI mail.  Host PAD logic is not provided -- that's what the Tymnet
network is there for.

As for X.PC on UNIX, Steve Kim, Tymnet's X.PC manager,
revealed to me that Tymnet does not see UNIX as a strategic O.S. platform
for X.PC.
