Why? | I for one, don't want to see OSI overtake in any way TCP/IP, even in | definitions. I'd actually much prefer for OSI to win the "war of the definitions". Rigid definitions tend to constrain thinking to fit into the patterns defined. We're much better off just having a rough idea what things mean when it gets to this level. kre
