Hey, I can beat that without trying: koiasvr01.iac.delcoelect.component.gmeds.com is 44 long, and it's even in the maps! (under koiasvr01). Steve Lodin claims "some problems" occur occasionally. Now, this is in actual practice...but not fully nsfnet-connected (at least not yet).

And it's the common practice here, to use the same names for Internet as for X.400.

I can't wait for X.400 addresses as components of UUCP paths.
That won't happen, but they may appear as components of news paths.
It all depends upon how MHS IPM's "flow confidentiality" requirement
(X.400/15.4) is interpreted in light of a distributed flood-based
non-presubscribed conference system technology like news. The ISO
world may live in the distribution list paradigm forever. Consider my
musings in <BOB.90Jul12093945@volitans.MorningStar.Com> ("ISO

Oh yeah? If I tried to feed that C=Bundesrepublik-Deutschland into
the nearest X.400 mailer, it's spit at me! It's C=DE or some numeric
code, thank you. I would also think that ADMD=DBP it pretty much
fixed, so you couldn't just expand it as you like.
There must be some kind of correlation between the enormously long
German words and their domain names, I think.

But as you can see we have short names too. (BTW: the longest name I saw was about 50 characters long, something like ....adlerserver.philosophie.uni-stuttgart.de ) ******************************************************************************** Arnold Nipper *** Universitaet Karlsruhe, Am Fasanengarten 5 * nipper@ira.uka.de XLINK, Inst. fuer Betr.- und Dialogsysteme, D-7500 Karlsruhe * +49 721 608 4331 ********************************************************************************

This choke isn't from me, it's from some guy I don't remember at one of our networking meetings here in germany.
