Since I posted the last message, some more followups have come into our
machine.  

The people reading this group include an especially high level of TCP/IP
users.  I wonder whether the networking terminology breaks cleanly into two or
three camps one of which is the ARPA usage.  I am sure that my usage does not 
reflect just Ungermann-Bass's terminology but those of some other 'significant 
portions of the free world.'  I'm curious as to what other sets of terminology 
are widely used.  My intent is not to say that I'm right or you're right or 
engage in any battles.

Incidentally, I posted an article earlier today with a full set of definitions
the way I use them.  My LAN books with definitions from other people are at
home.  If it seems worth-while (if I need them to defend my terminology :-)
I'll post some things from there.
