Greetings,
could some one tell me how/where can I get
IEEE Documents
ISO Documents
through the internet.
PS: thanks for the response on the ANSI Doc.(which can not
be retrieved through internet).
Thanks in advance......Haggar@bnr.cadave@tacky.cs.olemiss.edu ("David E. Johnson") (03/17/90)
ISO documents are NOT available in electronic form. They can be purchased from ANSI or OMNICOM in VA. This is a major drawback for implementation of OSI protocols. dave

Omnicom in Reston VA will cheerfully sell you any or all the IEEE or ISO Documents you want. Because they are copyrighted, and neither the IEEE nor the ISO will sacrifice the revenue they get from the people who sell the paper documents, you can't get them electronically. In some cases, you can find a document that circulated, sans copyright, in draft form still available electronically. James B.

[...] Whoever coined the phrase "the best things in life are free" must have been thinking of the Internet protocol specifications vis a vis OSI... :-) Phil
