[HECnet] "IP protocols on DECnet'

[Peter Lothberg]

Another protocol that might make sense is a DECnet adopted
variant of RFC-953, where sri-nic is replaced by MIM::...

Can anyone explain why DEC decided to go down the OSI track, instead
of putting Phase-4 services on top of ip (TCP). By the time the 
"OSI vs IP" protocol was over in reality over?

For anyone that has minutes to spare, here is Geoff Huston's talk
