- Oh, there are quite a number of people in the DFN (the German academic
- network community) that believe, that a PRMD=dfn and a O=university XY
- would have been a MUCH better approach. Today, we have a ADMD of a
- PTT (dbp) although the X.400 net of DFN is not connected to the
- X.400 Telebox system of dbp. It's really a bad system they've selected
- here. You can't determine from a C=de ORAddress, whether it is located
- in the DFN net or in the X.400 Telebox. This causes quite a lot confusion
- in the gateway world.
