Hello,

I was reading an article in Computing Canada (Dec. 6) called
"Migration to OSI requires look at alternative strategies"; in
it they say
	...
	"The top-down method is most popularly for OSI
	 applications over TCP/IP networks since TCP/IP
	 network services are closely related to OSI
	 networks (TCP/IP was derived from OSI as OSI
	           ----------------------------------
	 was evolving in the 70s)."
	 -----------------------

Maybe I've been living under my rock for too long, but I did
not realize this.  The simularities are obvious but TCP/IP being
derived from OSI and not the other way around hadn't occurred to me.

Is this statement accurate?
