X.400 is a messaging (email etc) protocol; I think you've seen an Acorn
X.25 Gateway. They weren't one of Acorn's success stories :-) I
recall the Psychology Department at Edinburgh University had one, they
intended it to link their Econet lab to the ERCC network and thence to
JANET. It's a box with a BBC motherboard and some extra gubbins in it.
You'd be better to run something like !Gateway on an Archimedes or
RISC PC with an Econet and an Ethernet interface.

That sounds about right, actually... My memory is somewhat bad. Of course
if I'm emulating the BBCs and the Econet, I dare say I should be able to
write something to translate directly, but doing it "right" (even if only
in software) feels better somehow.
