# Minitel
An easy-to-implement networking protocol for OpenComputers. Not to be confused with the [French computer network of the same name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel).
![Minitel ad](img/minitel-ad.jpg)
Minitel aims to implement layers 3, 4 and 5 of the OSI model.
## Layers
![Layer organisation in Minitel](img/minitel-layers.svg)
### Layer 3
[Layer 3](protocol-3.md) implements addressing, meshing and datagram transmission.
### Layer 4
[Layer 4](protocol-4.md) implements ordered message delivery
### Layer 5
[Layer 5](protocol-5.md) implements reliable, ordered, bidirectional streams.
## Implementations
### OpenOS
- [Reference implementation for OpenOS](OpenOS/README.md)
### KittenOS
- [Minitel for KittenOS NEO](KittenOS/README.md)
### Embedded devices
- [Microtel](Embedded/microtel/README.md)
## Application-layer protocols
This repository also contains a number of implementations and specifications for application-layer protocols using Minitel.
- [FRequest](FRequest/FRequest-protocol.md)
- [syslog](syslog/syslog-protocol.md)
- [Minitel Mail](MMail/MMail-protocol.md)
## Development and discussion
Code and documentation is hosted in the [Github repository](https://github.com/XeonSquared/OC-Minitel).
Discussion takes place in, among other places, the [#SKSDev IRC channel on EsperNet](irc://irc.esper.net/#SKSDev) (`irc://irc.esper.net/#SKSDev`) or alternatively, via [webchat](https://webchat.esper.net/?channels=SKSDev) or [XMPP](xmpp:#SKSDev%irc.esper.net@irc.jabberfr.org?join) (`xmpp:#SKSDev%irc.esper.net@irc.jabberfr.org?join`))
