While looking into some ISDN "stuff" I ran into the following acronyms
for which I would like "translations."  Any help would be appreciated.

1.  SMDS

    a.  DQDB
    b.  MSS
    c.  IMSSI

(Obviously the documentation was not complete.  However, a xxxx router can
have up to 6 SMDS links.  A DQDB is another box at a remote site which can
be daisy chained or stand-alone).

Thanks,
