The only question in my mind is "Why OSI and not SNA". At the very least
a protocol should be well-defined. I have yet to see a definition of 
Novell's protocols even at the informal level that the Internet uses,
let alone the level that OSI and SNA are defined and which allow multiple
vendors to build cooperating products. (Yes, I know there are interoperability
problems. This is what OSI conformance testing centres are for.)
