TOPIC




    I need to connect to ABANET. According to the information I received from
    ABANET they can be reached through Telenet. How can I reach ABANET via
    Telenet. I have a connection to the Belgian DCS network (Packet network,
    X.25).

DISCUSSION


    It sounds like ABANET has subscribed with Telenet, a X.25 Public Data Network provider, to get access to the X.25 PDN via Telenet. As a subscriber on a PDN, ABANET would have been given a unique address, not unlike your telephone
    number, that could be broken down into the world zone, country zone, a network digit and network terminal number.

    Therefore, to reach ABANET from another X.25 PAD, like MacX25, you just need
    their address. From MacX25 you enter that address in the "Host Address" or
    "Called Address" field. Then, open the connection via a terminal communication
    tool (MacTerminal 3.0, White Pines Mac241, or the like). Their address will be
    understood by your local PDN provider's packet-switching equipment and your
    call request will be routed through whatever PDN networks are required to
    reach ABANET.
