-------------------------------------

OVERVIEW
--------
Bay Networks will host the DLSw Connectathon to be held in Billerica
Ma. October 2-6, 1995. Any vendor who supports RFC 1795 and wishes to
connect to other DLSw vendors is invited. Bay Networks will provide
the lab space, networks, and end stations to support the testing. This
will be a private test and no information concerning the results of
this testing will be made available for public use.

Goals
-----
To provide an environment for vendors to test interoperability of 
DLSw products.  The format will be sufficient to organize the
logistics of the testing while providing the opportunity for
vendor-specific goals.
 
Non-Goals
---------
To provide the facilities or organization for complete DLSw functional
testing or SQA-style stress or performance testing. 

General Test Methodology:
-------------------------
Testing environments will be made available for interoperability
testing during the morning and the afternoon will be free to test
other features, work on problems from the morning, or expand on
morning tests. Additional details on the test plan will be presented at
the AIW and detailed information in early Sept.

Invitees
--------
All vendors with an implementation that supports RFC 1795 (including
Conformance Testing vendors).

RSVPs are being taken now by Bay Networks (contact: Scott Barvick). 

The RSVP and non-refundable fee of $100 (in the form of a check made
out to Bay Networks Inc.) per company is required by the end of AIW8
(Aug. 24, 1995).  The fee will be put towards the catered lunches each
day.

Logistics
---------
Rooms have been reserved at a local hotel. Additional information
including maps, hotels, etc. will be made available at the AIW.

Equipment can be shipped to Bay Networks shortly before the Connectathon.
Mailing labels will be included in the information packets to be
sent once the final vendor list is complete (after the AIW).
