Either X.500 is a piece of shit or Novell failed to implement X.500 correctly.
For sure at some point there was the concept of X.500 server's content
replication. I shudder to have to look at another OSI document...
Hmmm... I still have my "Decnet Phase V An OSI implementation" book which
deals with a lot of this issues. So I will be back !! 8)
Why? very simple, we are very , very close to a horde of multimedia
chipsets to hit the market some of them are capable of H.260 encoding ,
mpeg encoding, 3d rendering , wave table sound and some of them
are capable *billions* of instructions per seconds for special
cases . The November issue of Byte Magazine has a good round up of some
these cool chipsets so check it out!
BTW: A side issue I did try to convince Xing Technologies to try to
port their video server technology to FreeBSD however they have they
decided to be assholes and are not going to do it . There is a linux
port of their crap however I doubt that we would be able to use it
for it requires driver support for the video recording/playback gear.
