While we are at HDLC, does anyone know when US GOSIP is going to
define a reasonable variant of HDLC to be used to run CLNP over
point-to-point links?  The current spec is very vague on this and
seems to mention CLNP over LAP-B.  If I remember correctly, LAP-B is a
window based version of HDLC that doesn't support high-speed, long
delay media.  Also, running multiple protocols, some of which are
non-OSI, is not possible using the current specification.
