I thought the PPP-OSI had only progressed to some sort of draft status.
In any case, to have the protocol defined doesn't mean it'd be widely
implemented (unfortunately).

The fact that the APS Alliance (or so I understand) voted down a PPP
based proposal at their meeting is alarming.  It would be synchronistically
groovy if the ISO crowd would recognize the wide availablility of PPP
and `allow' for TP0..4 to traverse PPP-OSI paths.  Since PPP supports
multiple protocols this would let IP, DECnet, AppleTalk, Novell IPX and OSI
packets interoperate on the same telephone wire just as they do on the
same ethernet wire right now.

Sigh.. why does NIH have to rear its ugly head so often???

The APS alliance "voted down" OSI-PPP because we thought it would happen
anyway. If I remember the conference call correctly it will be mentioned
as one of the recommended profiles. The "voting down" was to do with
the technical group doing work on it, we will be working on other profiles.

Have you already seen the following RFC?
