I will not bother you all with another copy of the problem description!

TS-Bridging has been used for a year now to solve all of the problems
referred to, without any loss of application layer functionality.  At
least 3 implementations are in regular use today, and one of them is
freely available as part of the ISODE.  

I should also mention that The Open Book spends nearly 100 pages looking
at all the various options when going between TCP/IP and OSI, including
several additional options not mentioned by Jim West.  I suspect that
your report would do well to include all this material by reference.  

If you do not yet have a copy of The Open Book, I am sure we can find
one in your local technical book store.
