Followup-To:

I wish to echo the recommendation of Michael Padlipsky's book,
which is

	The Elements of Networking Style

	and other Essays & Animadversions on
	the Art of Intercomputer Networking

	Michael A. Padlipsky
	published by Prentice-Hall, 1985
	ISBN 0-13-268111-0 01

It is most frustrating to only be able to sit idly by while most of the
computer industry gives lip service to ISO vaporware, while a superior,
second generation protocol suite goes mostly ignored (unless the
customers have the sense to ask for it): DoD IP/TCP.
