I have always felt that lazyness was the motor of invention not some other
force... B-] You are just confirming it ... I would do the same, that is why
I mentioned the X.25 stuff. It looks to me like you are on the right track,
ISO8208 is X.25 plp, so if that takes care of it we are in business, so you
see I am as lazy as you are... Nothing wrong with that, it gets the job done.
