PeSIT first started operations
in 1986, and to date at least seven different companies have developed
the protocol. PeSIT is available for a wide range of hardware
including :
- IBM 390, IBM PC and compatibles (Windows 95 or NT environments),
- Bull DPS 6, AS/400, Tandem, UNISYS, VAX by Digital. Interest
in PeSIT rapidly exceeded the framework of the SIT project and
certain banks decided to use it for their in-house transfer requirements.
At present, PeSIT has spread far beyond the banking profession.
PeSIT is the only tried-and-tested protocol to allow dialoguing
between the most commonly used transfer monitors employed in the
French market.
PeSIT today exists in four operating profiles :
- "PeSIT SIT" for connecting to the SIT Payment and
Stock market networks,
- "PeSIT Hors SIT" for monitor-to-monitor dialogue
(common protocol for major monitors currently used in the French
market),
- "PeSIT ETEBAC 5" supporting the ETEBAC 5 standard
(defined by the CFONB), for telematic transfers between banks
and businesses,
- "PeSIT" - now available for use with a TCP/IP
layer. Flexible connectivity
