You must have heard about the North Carolina Information Highway, where the governor's so-called independent report on the supposed benefits of their proposed system co-incidentally turned out to have been written by the regional telephone company... a strategy moulded in the great Southern tradition of bigga-grit networking. As for salvaging bits from the OSI rubble - keep useful bits of ASN.1, keep PER and BER, nuke the session layer and start again with something that can be described on one piece of A4 paper (use both sides), keep just enough A2CSE and presentation to be useful (2 pieces of A4 each), keep X.500 around as a valuable source of experience, and send X.400 back to the pit of Hell from which it first crawled.
