amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia

and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Noti fi cati on of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Information

Systems—Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC/TR 10029:1989, Information technology—Telecommunications and information
exchange between systems—Operation of an X.25 interworking unit.
The Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which
are currently under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be
some minor difficulties encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards
Australia will be providing, through the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and
disseminate information concerning difficulties which are identified in using this Standard.
Under arrangements made between Standards Australia and the international Standards
bodies, ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, users of this
Australian Standard are advised of the following:
(a) Copyright is vested in Standards Australia.
(b) The number of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only

on the cover and title pages.

For the purpose of this Australian Standard, the ISO/IEC text should be modified as follows:

Standard’ wherever they appear.
