Bob,

Holy Cow. If the network is okay almost anything will work, even ISOspeak.
What you want to know is how the implementations work when the net ISN'T
okay, when the remote drivers are buggy and at arbitrary times during
the day when packets are falling off the Earth and so forth. I would give
the okay-network test only a Journeyman Certificate, hardly more worthy
that an Ethernet Certificate. The heavy dudes claim Mailbridge Certificates
and the real wowsers claim the most exclusive of all, the NSFNET Medal.
