Steve,

I agree with you on many points.  I guess, my sarchasm got carried away.
Couldn't help making fun out of another futile debate.

But, FYI - the APS protocol "stack" is actually providing a connection-
oriented service, although it may seem funny that we are using a
connectionless link protocol.

Anyway, it was not my point to start another CLNP vs CONS debate.  As it
turns out, both work!

Thanks for the info on the new "commercial" version of PP.  It is good
to hear that you are making progress.  In all fairness, it probably
should have a new name so it is not confused with the free version. 

Cheers,               ....Erik.
