    In the Dec 10 "Communications Week" we saw an sidebar which
    mentioned a registry maintained at the University of Southern
    California.  It includes data from >130 vendors about their
    networking systems.  It says "The TCP/IP community chose a
    university as the guardian of this registry in an attempt
    to provide an open way for users, vendors, and systems
    integrators to access this information".  I just wish the
    article had mentioned how/where to locate this document!
    
I suspect that this is in reference to the list of SNMP vendors.  The
list is available for anonymous FTP from venera.isi.edu as
mib/snmp-vendors-contacts.  

I just wish that journalists would get the "facts" that they publish straight.
