May I say that this is the sort of inane reply which drives me wild.
It has no information in it, other than an implied snide comment.
Personally, I would prefer that Mr. McGwier thinks for a few microseconds
before issuing such a reply.

As it happens:-

1. I already sent off four names to the original sender, and there are
   certainly more.
2. We are currently running (and interworking with) three different
   ISO TP4 implementations (on Vax, 68000 and IBM PC).
3. The sender is not English mother tongue (although he speaks it
   probably rather better than most readers speak his language), and
   so is possibly upset by the answer.
