    ...What is it?
    
1379.2If MAP/TOP ANSWER = NOTOOK::MATTHEWSFri Aug 23 1991 18:389
    I don't spend much time following product names. Do you mean a
    product which implements the MAP/TOP protocols? If so, the answer
    currently is no. There was an active project in CIM last year
    which lost its funding and was discontinued. They were working
    on a MAP/TOP AM using the MAP/TOP CMIP which is older than DNA CMIP
    (I.E. and thus non-conformant with the IS CMIP). We worked with
    them up until they were unfunded.

1379.3MAP-AM --> T&N-EICENUF::GASSMANMon Aug 26 1991 11:3212
    MAP has been pretty much a NO-OP for the last few years (since the ENE
    trade show), but behind the scenes, I think it's gathered some
    strength.  MAP stands for the "manufacturing automation protocol", and
    like Wally mentioned, it's using a OSI like CMIP like management
    protocol which is non-conformant with IS CMIP.  I recently caught up
    with my 'trade rag' reading from May thru August, and noticed several
    articles on MAP - ie, it may show up on some RFC's soon.  From GM
    especially.  I'd think that if there is significant business available,
    that the T&N-EIC would be the direction to look for building the
    business case for development of the MAP-AM.
