The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 has implemented connectivity over
TP4/CLNP/802.3 (Transport Class 4/Connectionless Network Protocol/Ethernet.)
This is in addition to the TP0/X.25/X.121 connectivity provided in earlier
releases of the gateway.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The X.400 gateway supports multiple connections (two incoming and one outgoing)
on either of these transports. These transport stacks are implemented according
to International Standards Organization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
specifications:

NOTE: The TPO/X.25 works with the bottom three layers of the OSI stack, whereas
TP4/CLNP works with the bottom four.
