I have heard some rumours that next UNIX BSD (BSD 4.4) release will have an OSI implementation? Is it based on ISODE or what? ANy info would be appreciated.

IBM and the University of Wisconsin have contributed an implentation of TP0 & TP4, CLNP, ESIS; negotations are proceeding with the University of British Columbia concerning inclusion of their software implementation of X.25 (and possibly contributions from another individual). We are counting on ISODE to provide user applications, including X.400 and X.500, (which will be provided by UCL and University of Nottingham. No documentation is available yet; things are still too much in a state of flux.

We have also heard that BSD 4.4 sockets has undergone/will undergo some minor modifications, presumably to handle CLNP addresses due to their length. Has any documentation (initial draft or otherwise) been published or released for BSD 4.4 sockets? Thanks, Lloyd ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lloyd T.
