Hi,
Excuse my ignorance (new comer to the ISODE world) but I have a few questions
concerning ISODE that I hope someone out there can answer.  I am interested
in ISODE as a tool for enabling the interoperability of TCP and OSI networks
and for providing tools for TCP/OSI integration.

My first question is has anyone out there taken the ISODE concept and produced
a commercial implementation (or commercially available port)?  I seem to recall
just recently reading about such a thing in the trade rags but I can't find
the article again (which made me think about cleaning my desk before I gave it
up as an impossible task).  

My second question concerns the Transport Service bridge.  In the docs it says 
that the TSB is not included in the "openly available ISODE distribution",
however in Marshall Rose's new book he states that Julian Onion's TS-bridge
was donated to ISODE sometime in '89.  We're very interested in the potential
for a TS bridge providing TCP/OSI interoperability.  Is the TSB in the
ISODE-5.0?  Has anyone worked with it and what are the results, if any?
Any info on the TSB would be appreciated.

Finally, I have been trying to get ISODE to work on our Sun (4/260, OS4.0.3
running Sunlink 6.0 OSI) and have had limited success.  It compiles OK but
when I go to test it (isode-ets) I get all sorts of errors (mostly to do with
"connections being refused on this network connection").  Any one got some 
helpful hints?  Sun's OSI seems to work OK... I haven't gone much further 
though (i.e. haven't tried to get the ISODE FTAM running).  In a related
area would the FTAM/ftp gateway running on a Sun OSI/TCP dual stack host
really work as a gateway from a pure TCP environ to an ISODE environ (where
all of the services were running over Sunlink OSI for instance)? 

Anyways thanks for any help/info I can get.
