With all the respect to John, he is not among the original authors of NETBLT RFC. Wonder if you can tell me who are the other people that you contacted? > The NETBLT spec found in RFC998 *as is* could not be appropriate for current > Internet, It was not meant to. It's for discussion and comment. As I already quoted this in my earlier msg: RFC998 stated clearly that This document is published for discussion and comment, and does not constitute a standard. The proposal may change and certain parts of the protocol have not yet been specified; implementation of this document is therefore not advised. > so there is a need for another one.

There has been one attempt to do that by John White in 1995 (see draft-white-protocol-stack), but IMO (that likes strange, but...) we can align this document with the most current needs of Internet and publish. Mykyta but now you changed your mind?
