Please write to tell me of file-server & vitrual terminal standards.  I
know that DEC has them, SUN has them, and Xerox has them.  Are there any
other such standards?  Perhaps ARPA standards?  Are any of the standards
multi-vendor or are they all proprietary?

Also, is there some sort of fault-tolerant inter-LAN gateway?  Something
that would allow interconnection of two LANs & keep one going even if the
other is completely dead?  (I'm aware that this should go in net.lan, but
we don't get that group.)
