Anybody else remember the US government directive that all networking was going to have to conform to the ISO protocols? I think that DECnet Phase IV was as close to a commercial implementation that anyone ever got.

This goes back more than a decade, but I remember getting a call from a client at AT&T, asking me if I knew of any X implemtations that would run on the OSI protocols...
