Help!
I need to update a C++ program that communicates with a server over an X25 link. The new method of communicating has to be ISO transport protocol on top of TCP/IP. I have been given a TSAP, an IP address and a well known port number (102).
I have searched for: ISOTP, ITOT, ISO-TSAP, TP TCPIP and "Port 102".
Most searches on the Internet just return the RFC and some finite state machine definitions for the communications protocol. Do I actually have to CODE all of this from the RFC? I can't beleive there isn't an implementation in GNU, sourceforge etc. I think this is a communications protocol already supported by MS VC++ because I have seen references to ISOTP.SYS on some web pages.
I can't find any examples of it being used and I don't know how to set up a link using that protocol. If you have had any experience with ITOT please can you add a couple of lines here just to get me started.
Many thanks,
