Hi!

I was wondering if the problem of connection collisions exists in ISO/TP0/2/4?

Let me explain.  When I say connection collision, I mean that two processes
try to connection with each other simultaneously.  If both processes are
in a syncronous connection request, and a collision occurs, both processes
will hang waiting on the other to accept.  I know that one possible way to 
avoid collisions is through asynchronous connect calls.

But, I am wondering if the all powerful ISO Transport protocol will recognize
this collision and return a connection to both processes.

Any answers will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Bobby
