No issue - but general questions

Dear Akram,

I came across your software project pesit-protocol hosted on github (after I found Carla's on Sourceforge, you forked from). I also contacted Carla but got no reply till today...

The reason I'm writing: In the company I'm working for, we would like to replace one of our older legacy communication systems, but the thing is, that it's the only communication system that still supports the PeSIT protocol.

So I started with some investigation, since no one in the company really has a deep knowledge about that protocol - only how to configure partner's connection details and exchanging files with them.

I'm a software developer and tried to find some information about PeSIT and - with some luck - an open source implementation of the protocol. And so I found your/Carla's project, downloaded it, looked over the sources and got stuck :-). And that's the reason why I'm writing.

I have a bunch of questions/demands:

• Could you give a brief overview, how PeSIT is working?
  How is the low level/network communication done? I read it could be used upon TCP/IP, X.25, SPX/IPX and one or two others.
  I know that there are different versions: HS D and HS E
• Is your code runnable stand-alone? I saw that WS interfaces are provided, but also sources of the Mule ESB are used. Is it plug-in for Mule?
• Is your code a client or the server, or both?
• I saw no "low-level" communication in your code, such as opening a socket, only that source and destination parameters can be set. Like: "I'm 'bankName_A' and I would like to connect to 'bankName_B'". But who resolves and looks up bankName_A and bankName_B?

I would be more than glad if you could give me some hints/documentation that put me in the right direction.

Many thanks,
