We have 8090 servers which talk to a Vax using XNS. We are having some problems
and I have a Sniffer trace of the interaction. I need to get my hands on
the PEP and SPP specs so I can understand the codes, packet breakdown, etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Maybe an anonymous ftp site ????

Thanks,

steve

Try calling Xerox's XSoft division in Palo Alto, California.  I believe
the main number is 415.813.7800.  Ask to speak to Fonda Pallone -- a year
ago she used to handle Xerox's protocol spec gray books.  If she is no
longer there, ask to speak to someone with the Xerox Systems Institute 
which is the entity that Fonda worked for.

Oh and I forgot to mention......you need the book entitled, "Internet
Transport Protocols".  It has both the PEP and SPP stuff in it.  If
you need to decode SPP parameter negotiation dialogue, then you'll
also need the book entitled, "Sequenced Packet Protocol, Connection
Parameter Negotiation".
