799.0. "Official FDDI standard?" by VAXRIO::ROLF (Vaporware Design Specialist) Thu Nov 19 1992 11:52

    Customer queried me regarding standards for FDDI. Could someone please
    update us?
    
    I only see mention of "FDDI" rather than anything in numeric form. 
    Are we not done with the basic standard yet? Or is what we have all
    we're gonna see? Or did I miss something?
    
    Thanks for any possible clarification!

799.1ANSI X3T9CSC32::B_GOODWINLookout, the Democrats are back....:(Mon Nov 23 1992 09:052
I believe this is mentioned several times in the notesfile, but our FDDI is
compliant to ANSI standard X3T9

X3T9.5 is the committee that creates the standards, not the identification
of the standards themselves.  

There are in fact several standards.  They are both ANSI and ISO standards;
the text is identical though the cover pages differ.  The ISO ones are all
9314-x where x varies for the different parts; the ANSI ones are numbered
separately.  The ones for which I remember the number are:

MAC	X3.139
PHY	X3.148
PMD	X3.166 (? not sure about this one)
