DLSw SIGers -

    Attached below is the latest DLSw feature matrix.  I had to change the
    format slightly to fit everyone in.  We've had 3 additions since the
    last mailing:	NSC/Vitalink
			N.E.T.
			ascom Timeplex

    Please take a moment to check your company's column just to make sure
    I didn't screw up anything in the reformatting.  See you next Tuesday.

Regards,

        3. Support for Ethernet entails support of the Spanning Tree Protocol
           (Shannon Nix, Netlink).

        4. Possible addition: LPDA2, but that might be best covered in the
           SNA MIB Working Group at the IETF.  Sync Research has LPDA2
           support in SNAC/TRC and other products.

        5. Conformance Testing should be performed by an outside agency
           (Bob Nowak, Siemens).
