Dave is right about the acronym. Some more background:

The Cosine project consists of three phases:
- specification phase (lastet until 1988, published in 7 "blue" books)
- Implementation phase (now going on, until 31-12-1992)
- Exploitation phase (here the project results should be self-financing)

The Implementation phase is contracted to RARE (Association for Reaserach
networks in Europe) and consists of several sub-projects:
IXI - An International X.25 interconnection network
MHS - The X.400 coordination service
987 gateway
FTAM-FTP gateway
Pilot Directory Services
European User Information Service
Support for SIGs
CLNS pilot
Full screen VTP services
