I can't keep up with all these buzzwords. What, pray tell, _is_ TLI? And can I too add it to my resume, like "client/server computing" and "realtime systems", which only became buzzwords long after I acquired the related experience ;-) This industry is getting just a wee bit *too* specialized, IMHO. Whoops, that's a 4LA rather than a TLA (Three Letter Acronym)... -rich

Gotta say Rich, this gave me quite a chuckle. "We all BM for IBM..." That's pretty good. Seriously, TLI stands for Transport Layer Interface. Without getting into writing a novel on the subject ... The ISO (International Standards Organization) defined OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), which is broken into seven layers: Application Presentation Session ------------ Transport Layer Interface Transport Network Link Physical OSI defines the message passing between the layers, and the actions that the layers take themselves. TLI sits "between" the transport and session layers, providing a common interface for applications to talk to a resource provider (such as TCP/IP on a network that groks IP). -- Mike Stefanik, MGI Inc., Los Angeles -- Opinions stated are never realistic!

Transport Level Interface. Part of V.4 and Xopen (as XTLI). I've seen no evidence of it on AIX 3.1. -- Benson I. Margulies
