I'll point out that you don't need OSI, just OSPF with variable length
subnet mask support in the IP forwarder.  Several vendors already do this.
It's not rocket science, and routing technology has surpassed the 
point where such restrictions are required.  Subnets no longer need to
be connected if you do things right.

						Thanks,
