I don't know if this P.S. was addresses specifically to Juan Pizzorno,
but since it came out on the mailing list, here is my request: could
you send me this file? If you prefer I could also try to retrieve
them by ftp somewhere on nyser.net...

Thanks in advance.

One other thing I would like to discuss is the EON project. I
discovered it in the RFC-can't-remember-which-number. It seems rather
interesting. I have a group of people here (not in Chorus but in a
french university) which have a set of Sun's and Vax'es. I'm currently
installing ISODE 5.0 on their network. They would be very interested
in participating to this project.
My question is:  what are the assumptions about this participation in
terms of software (and even hardware) for them to be useful and
productive in the project? They have no native OSI low layers running
at the moment, but I'm talking with Kirk mcKusick and Keith Sklower
for getting the future 4.4BSD network package as soon as the ARGO
stuff is integrated in beta-test form. would it be sufficient if we
run this beta version on one of their Vax'es? (guess they have to buy
the Eicon board too!). They would also be interested in using ISODE on
their VMS boxes.

Any info is welcome

Sylvain
