Hello,

for thoose who may know a little about the ISODE layers, is it possible
to obtain the connecting users identity from the ACSAP?  I guess it
may depend on the applications, but is a username transfered 
with the connection setup info for any applications?  

Lastly, Does the session layer PDU have both theintiating
users ID, or name, and a responding users ID?  I am digging around
in the code and can see the address of the initiating host, but
no where do I get info for any application about usernames.  Is this
specific to an application (ie: vt), and thus unavailable within
the layers.?  thanks for any help.
