Please let me know what, if anything, there is that can explain the
ISO stuff to mere mortals like myself.  I'd appreciate opinions,
both favorable and unfavorable, of books, articles, seminars, etc.

I'm looking at various protocols for use by my company.  I don't have
any dox on the ISO stuff.  I'm sure I can get official dox for it, but
based on my past experience with official documents, I'm scared to 
death of them.  

I've seen official documents of other protocols that I couldn't understand 
at all.  Only after I learn a protocol, can I understand any of the official 
document for it.  Even then, much imagination and quessing of intent is 
required.

Thanks,
--
