[I hope this is an appropriate location...] In the Dec 10 "Communications Week" we saw an sidebar which mentioned a registry maintained at the University of Southern California. It includes data from >130 vendors about their networking systems. It says "The TCP/IP community chose a university as the guardian of this registry in an attempt to provide an open way for users, vendors, and systems integrators to access this information". I just wish the article had mentioned how/where to locate this document! If anyone has any pointers to this registry please email (or post if it's globally interesting information). I have FTP access. Thanks! John -- John Lindwall lindwall@ucsd.edu "Oh look at me! I'm all flooby! I'll be a son of a gun!" -- Flaming Carrot

I suspect that this is in reference to the list of SNMP vendors. The
list is available for anonymous FTP from venera.isi.edu as
mib/snmp-vendors-contacts.
I just wish that journalists would get the "facts" that they publish straight.
