there was EIN (computer scientists), there was EURONET (ptt) there was rose and thorn, the game over osi protocol suit and tcp/ip, more people played around, at least. tantrums and money, fundings as ESPRIT and proprietary games. there was BISON and anothers. the british company logica, who seems has played the game on all fronts. glad that there are still people around to ask ...as from politicians you here: "je n'ai pas été associé à ce travail. Je ne puis donc être utile". oh, muddy waters.

and for the record there was the night when ietf turned off ipv4
