[net.lan] The Fatal Space Bar

mckendry@exodus.DEC (NER Network Coordinator) (07/26/84)

Little did I wot (Little did you what? That's right...) that a leading
space would cause my message to disappear. To all those who received
an empty posting with Subject = AT&T ISN Announcement, here is what I
meant to say (no, the empty posting was not a comment on the 
announcement):
Can anybody provide any facts on AT&T's ISN (product/service announced 
at the end of June)? If not facts, rumors or speculation or 
scuttlebutt? 
Please do not tell me anything that's a trade secret, as I work for a
possible competitor. But within the strictures of what's public 
knowledge:
What is it? What does "ISN" stand for? What is it sort of like, only
different? Why is it good? How does it fit into the OSI Reference Model?
Compare and contrast. Be specific. Give examples.

Thanks,
-John
