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 decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-exodus!mckendry mckendry%exodus.DEC@decwrl.ARPA
