33.0. "QPSX (802.6) in Australia." by TROPPO::RICKARD (Doug Rickard - network junkie.) Thu Feb 01 1990 21:12
QPSX (802.6) is a 500 Mbit/sec fibre-optic MAN system developed by the 
University of Western Australia.
Telecom Australia, the national telecom provider in Australia is 
supporting QPSX extensively, and the company QPSX is a joint venture 
company between  Telecom Australia and the University of Western 
Australia.
Telecom is currently planning the introduction of a QPSX based system 
called 'Fastpac' to be available nationally. They are also planning a 
B-ISDN service at 150 Mbits/sec to be based on QPSX.
I have just received 2 reprints of some papers given by Telecom 
Australia. One is 32 pages long, the other 12 pages. Hard copy only.
I can make a limited number of photo-copies available to anyone 
interested.

(Incidentally, the imminent release of QPSX here has meant that most of 
our customers have not shown any real interest in FDDI at all !!)

|  |     That's funny.  I always thought QPSX (pronounced q-p-sex) was the
    way we got more qp dolls.  ;^)
