[comp.protocols.iso] A Validity Check From OSInet.

ng@neutron.mpr.ca (Steve Ng) (04/11/91)

Hello,

I came across this article from a computer communication magazine:

"Users who want to check the OSI interoperability claims of vendors 
 can call into a free test and registration database maintained by 
 OSInet Corp., an affiliate of the Corporation of Open Systems."

I am very interested in finding out more about this database. What type 
of interoperability info does it contain? How do you access it? etc.
Anyone out there has information on the subject? May be the OSInet experts
can comment on it. Response will be very much appreciated.

Steve.
