Hi,

about "toaster-net" ... :-)

If you are interested in where I think Internet protocols
might go in the next decade, into millions of nets and billions
of hosts (including toasters :-), get file:

tiger1.prime.com:pub/isdn/tpix.ps      (PostScript) or
tiger1.prime.com:pub/isdn/tpix.ps.Z    (PostScript, compressed)

sorry, only PostScript at this time. Oh, and this has evolved a *lot*;
if you haven't seen it in 6 months, you haven't seen it.

Best Regards,
Robert Ullmann
