The new types of nodes I have heard of are the STP (sevice transfer point ?) and the SCP (a data base of some sort ?) I am also interested in any information on the development of the digital cellular network. I have noticed some discussion on the security in the proposed scheme in the newsgroup, but I missed the original postings. Responses can be send to Mdawson@eleceng.ee.queensu.ca Thanks in advance for your help, Michael Dawson
