450.0. "IEEE standard for FDDI?" by MAIL::HAYDEN (A Smith & Wesson beats 4 Aces.) Thu Jan 16 1992 14:36

    Hi,
    
    I talked about FDDI during a presentation. My customer asked me how we
    were going to handle our products when the IEEE standard for FDDI
    emerged. They infered that the ANSI standard was just an interim "fix"
    for someone needing to do FDDI and that the IEEE standard would
    supersede it.
    
    Does anyone have any info on the IEEE standard and how the ANSI
    standard vs. the IEEE standard will be?
    
    Thanks,
    Pat

Nonsense.  There is no IEEE standard for FDDI and there will not be.  FDDI
is done by ANSI and IEEE doesn't touch any of it.

However, there IS an ISO standard for FDDI.  That one is identical to the
ANSI standard; for a number of the parts of the standard, the same camera-ready
pages were used for both!
