Mike (and others),  This nasty little issue of living in a world
not defined by us is one that can be meaningfully addressed at
the TCP/IP Vendors Workshop at the end of August.  At one
time we will have in one room over 100 different TCP/IP implementation
teams.  WE can discuss not just the technical issues of the best way to
cope with our bretheren in the ISO world, but how to make changes
that are not disastrously disruptive to the customers in the field.
(The most recent problem has been with subnetting and how it gets
incorporated smoothly in the field.   With over 100 different vendors
it is impossible to coordinate release dates for protocol upgrades.)

Meanwhile, perhaps some readers of this list have some experience 
running ISO IP as well as DoD IP on the same Ethernet and can reveal how 
they have dealt with it thus far.
