Outside of DEC, there hasn't been any real move to the OSI protocols. Apparently (I'm not a network guru, so I only know what I read) there are things wrong with the OSI protocols that won't make it worth changing over from TCP/IP, better to wait and see what the next set of protocols will be. I believe that 4.6 is still in field test. ---------------- Marty Sasaki uucp: harvard!sasaki Ziff Davis Technical Information Co. arpa: sasaki@harvard.harvard.edu 80 Blanchard Road bitnet: sasaki@harvunxh Burlington, MA 01803 phone: 617-273-5500
