Excuse me, I'm confused.  I thought that OSI was a model which described
the procedures (steps) to establish a connection and transfer data between
two nodes on a network regardless of the protocol suite employed.  The ISO
IP/TPn and Internet TCP/IP protocol suites can be described by the model
as can networks based on Digital's DCA protocol suite, IBM's BSC protocol,
and the ISO 1745 protocol.
