As some people may know, is seems as if the relaying of X.400
messages through PRMD's (PRMD -> PRMD -> PRMD) has de facto 
been declared illegal in Switzerland on the 1st of October. 
This is -not- only restricted to commercial and public service 
provision and will affect new PRMD's immediately and already 
existing ones in two years time. 

While this is not a problem directly for us (we run an ADMD),
this seems to go so far that it cannot be in the interest of
anybody interested in electronic communications to let this
go uncontested.

We would be interested in any material/arguments you have on the
usage and allocation of PRMDs in other countries and the current 
status in the X.400(92) standard.

Thanks for any help
