NEITHER of the proposals put forth require any new calls to support SNA
service TP names.  The Novell proposal may be somewhat more
complicated but it doesn't have the problem of using what may be part of
a non-service TP name to identify a service TP.  The current CPI-C
architecture leaves it up to implementations as to how to deal with
service TPs.  Since Novell wanted to support service TPs it used the
method described earlier.  Are there other products out there that have
used other methods or the techniques described in this forum?  So far,
besides Novell,  we have just heard about IBM APPC Networking
Services for Windows.  It sounds like they have plans to support service
TPs, but don't do so yet.
