Well, fwiw, the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) that was
being discussed in the late nineties and early noughties, was supposed
to be built on the OSI stack. I have no idea what happened with that,
whether it went ahead or got altered.

‘Winsock’ is that it worked over TCP/IP , IPX/SPX, AppletTalk and Decnet.
It was fun to convert a BBS from being telnet to some ‘telnet over decnet’
monster I built.
Although I’m guessing OSI would have allowed for common ‘network’
applications to use different network topologies?
I really need to get OSF/1 2.0 installed.
