It is funny, but truth be told we dodged a massive bullet by going with 
the "Internet" and TCP/IP as opposed to the nightmare of AT&T Connect, 
IPX, and the blazing speeds of TWO! ISDN B channels.

I was there. I remember X.400, and how NDS was going to be the directory 
system that bound us all together in hell forever. I remember everything...

We missed living in that crap-sack universe by six months or so.
