Subject: RFC 1434+

Wayne,
Your assertion about IBM giving updates to RFC 1434 "behind the scenes"
to a "preferred list of partners" is completely incorrect and unfair.
All updates to RFC 1434 to be interoperable with the 6611 were presented
in the open at RIG meetings.  Steve Klein posted changes to the state
machines on the connect mailing list.  The complete FSMs have been posted
on the networking machine as /aiw/dlsw/connect/fsm-6611-01.txt since
April 4, 1994.  I would call that the public domain.

Whatever your opinions about whether the connectathon should permit
testing with older DLSw implementations, we would appreciate not being
accused of conspiracy when we have been more than open with our
technology.
