Running X directly over Transport certainly makes sense from X's point of view, but I have my doubts about it being accepted as a "standard" way to offer X in an OSI environment. I understand there is a paper going around ANSI on how to map X to ACSE and Presentation primitives. The OSI upper layers may cost you some at startup time, but I don't think the overhead will be significant after that. On balance, I think this approach is better. There is also an OSI work item called "Terminal Management" that discusses a rather X-like capability. Anybody up to date on how it's going, and how its contributors see the relationship between X and Terminal Management? -Rick Wilder
