who's got time and interest, feel free add some more to this sketch.<br>
<br>
I've been thinking a little about the logistics of our interoperability
testing, and it occurs to me that maybe the best way to start the testing would
be face-to-face in some of the October CCSDS meetings in Berlin -- with maybe a
crossover cable, or a small hub if we're lucky enough to have multiple
participating machines.&nbsp; My laptop dual-boots Windows and Linux, so
there's little or no extra stuff I'd have to lug to Europe to support
this.&nbsp; Pat, are you planning to come to the meetings and, if so, do you
think you'd be ready to start interoperation testing by then?&nbsp; Tim, any
chance your implementation will be ready to work with by that time?&nbsp;
Stuart and David, I am guessing that there's no easy way for other
implementations to interoperate with yours since you're running on-bus rather
than over a network, but correct me if I'm wrong.<br>
