Long ago, it seems oh so long, I posted a request about ISO protocol
software available.  There weren't many replies, but they follow.

I found one other implementation:  TITN has classes 1 and 3, and is working
on class 4 and session level.  Their software seems to port quite well.
The US address is TITN Inc., 24301 Southland Dr., Suite 200; Hayward,
CA 94545; (415)785-5970.  They're French, so I assume HQ is in Paris.

As for MAP, both Motorola and Intel are to announce MAP 2.1 boards
using the token bus:  boards handling through the transport layer are
available now, and Motorola says a board with all 7 layers will be available
3Q86.

    There is an implementation in C which was done for the National Bureau of
    Standards available through NTIS.  There is also a company called SYROS
    which has TP/4 and the connectionless network protocol available for
    porting.  It also is in C.  The NBS code is really their testbed code
    written for a modified UNIX system.  I haven't looked at the SYROS stuff.

    Check out Sydney Corp in Vancouver, BC.  They are selling
    the software developed at UBC (e.g. ubc-vision!demco's stuff.)
    They apparently have it on 4BSD and on System V, as well as VM/CMS
    and a few others.

    if by OSI software you mean implementations of the ISO standard protocols
    for the first several layers of the OSI model, then you must be referring
    to MAP and TOP (MAP is the ISO stuff plus GM's top layers; TOP is the
    ISO stuff with Boeing's top layers.  There are others, such as Intel's
    OpenNET or CRDS's UniverseNet.  Their compatability has yet to be proven).

    Motorola Microsystems is a participant in MAP on the token-bus,
    both 5Mbits and 10Mbits.  We were hoping to make the Ethernet demo,
    but no dice.  We have several customer sites running prototype stuff.
    Other than that, you:d need to talk to a sales rep or marketeer (try
    Jack McGeough at 602-438-3091).

    We are working on a ISO Transport over ISO IP.
