I realize there are several people collecting or posting reviews of good
introductory books on the OSI protocols, but do any of these references
touch on interconnections with ISDN, or at least make it crystal-clear
where ISDN's standards are supposed to interconnect with OSI's?  It seems
to me to be a straightforward question, but I have yet to hear a straight-
forward answer.  I am interested specifically in connecting private OSI LANs
to common-carrier ISDN WANs.  I have *no interest* in implementation details
save those directly relevant to application design.  If there are no such
books, I strongly suggest someone write one.  :-)

In the abscence of such references, is there a general overview that makes
the responsibilities of the various standards groups clear?  I have yet to
see a document where this is outlined.  X/Open, OSF, and the like seem to
have confused the issue by introducing private consortia into the picture.

In the meantime, is there a mailing-list or newsgroup source of ISDN
application design information ? 

I apologize in advance if this question has been brought up before.
