	AT&T's STARLAN release 3.0 is using ISO protocols.  The  ISO
	Level 4 protocol over IEEE802.3.  (I don't have the ISnnnn number
	of the protocols handy, they have adopted the IEEE802 family
	of protocols as an implementation of layers 1..3, I believe).

	It is actually faster than the protocol previously used
	(our own, called URP -- Universal Receiver Protocol) but that
	may just be a better implementation, rather than any major
	improvement in the protocols themselves.
