Everyone had to scramble in the late 1980s to get OSI stuff done, then the gov't never used it. Trust me, IPv6 really is different from GOSIP. In the former case, the drivers are outside the government, mainly in Asia. In the latter case, the sole driver was the government, and no one outside of the government wanted to touch it. More importantly, there are a lot of places that are using IPv6 in the real world, and that never happened with GOSIP. -- Brad Knowles, <[email protected]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
