I have hundreds of books (literally) which describe the OSI Reference Model,
but I have never seen the original ISO document which sets forth this model.
What are the name and number of the document, and what is the best way to
obtain it? If it's a FIPS as well as an ISO standard, what's the FIPS number?

Please respond by electronic mail as soon as possible; I need to be able to
quote from the original document in a "rush" paper I'm writing.
