Just what us vendor type people love. Multiple standards to do the same thing. Well, not quite the same thing. While RFC1053 proposes a PAD view of the world, IDEA016 proposes a unix view of the world (complete with local handling of signals). Personally, I'd like to mix up the two, and add some tops20-like features, like a full break mask, and some things that haven't ever existed, like a full echo mask. Oh well, I guess I just get to wait and see what happens. Bill Westfield cisco Systems -------
