Summary: Looking for COTS product

Does anyone out there know of any commercial ISO Session Layers running on
Sperry (Unisys now, thanks to Burroughs) 1100/xx mainframes?

We're looking for one, but so far no luck.  PLEASE help if you have even a
HINT of where to look.

If you send me an inquiry and I get any hints I will share the results.
I somehow suspect I'll be the only poor sucker looking for this stuff,
though.

Thanks in advance,

The next release of the "ISO Development Environment at NRTC" will be
available on 23 March 1987.  This release is called 

				 ISODE 2.0

This software supports the development of certain kinds of ISO/CCITT/ECMA
protocols and applications.  Here are the details:  

  - ISODE is not proprietary, but it is not in the public domain.  This was
    necessary to include a "hold harmless" clause in the release.  The upshot
    of all this is that anyone can get a copy of the release and do anything
    they want with it, but no one takes any responsibility whatsoever for any
    (mis)use.

  - ISODE runs on native 4.2BSD and SVR2 with an Excelan card.  It
    also runs on a AT&T 3B2 running SVR2 and the WIN TCP/IP package,
    native ROS (the Ridge Operating System), and HP-UX.  (Future
    releases will support VAX/VMS, PC-XENIX, and a variant of PC/IP.)  

  - Current modules include:
	TSAP	- ISO transport service (TP0 on top of TCP)
	SSAP	- ISO session service
	PSAP	- ASN.1 abstract syntax and transfer notation
	PEPY	- ASN.1 to internal datastructure facility
	PSAP2	- ISO presentation service
	AcSAP	- ISO association control service
	RtSAP	- ISO/CCITT reliable transfer service
	RoSAP	- ISO/CCITT/ECMA remote operations service

  - Although the ISODE is not "supported" per se, it does have a
    problem-reporting address, Bug-ISODE@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM.  Bug reports (and
    fixes) are welcome by the way.

  - The discussion group ISODE@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM is used as an open forum on
    ISODE.  Contact ISODE-Request@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM to be added to this list.

  - The primary documentation for this release consists of a User's
    Manual (approx 300 pages) and a set of UNIX manual pages.  The
    sources to the User's Manual are in LaTeX format.  In addition,
    there are a number of notes, papers, and presentations included in
    the documentation set, again in either LaTeX or SLiTeX format.
