Indirectly.  I am frequently annoyed by the fact that I can't get these 
documents electronically as the TCP/IP RFC's.  In trying to create an 
intelligent design for a network, I would like to see what the OSI 
standard will be in the future.  I would like to work toward that 
standard.  Cost and the time involved in getting these documents (you 
know the paperwork involved in a "Standard Requisition" ;-) ) means that 
I am working from hearsay, trade rags and Internet mailing lists.

Rusty.
