Well, while I understand and get that, "nuts and bolts" companies seem to
expect that some sort of standards should govern, and if they give their
money to someone who promises them "connection to the Internet", this 
implies "their customers wherever in the world can use this thing to talk
to them"...

So, what is the message we want to send them?  "Get a X.25 port instead,
this Internet thingie isn't reliable enough for real world business"?  
Surely not.

Today, I don't think so, unfortunately (was busy with DANE).  But just 
yesterday, and the week before :-)
