- This raises what I consider to be a very major point... can we solve
- address management (and name management) such that workstations can
- use B-ISDN directly, peer-to-peer, and bypass connectionless routing
- altogether? Now we never managed it with X.25, so I am waiting for
- somebody to tell me how to do it. Somehow the IETF doesn't seem very
- interested by this problem ;-)

- Now I do have to defend my alma mater ... they have always been
- ideas people there, haven't they, not product designers?
