A huge amount of work: converting the ancient netiso code to use
modern kernel programming interfaces, figuring out MP/MT locking,
adding the netiso support back to the protocol-independent parts of
the kernel, fixing all the warnings, translating all of the anti-DoS
code from TCP/IP into TP/CLNP....  It's not like we arbitrarily
decided that we didn't like OSI and just threw it out the window.

Oh, BTW, can you yell at whichever Exchange luser in your company is
responsible for breaking the postmaster and abuse aliases today?  (See
