The January 1992 issue of Telecommunications magazine includes
a supplement, called Inte Net, which has two Internet / TCP-IP
articles worth reading:

Commercializing Internet: Impact on Corporate Users, by Edward
  R. Kozel, Cisco Systems

TCP/IP-Based Data Transport Services for LAN/WAN Interconnection
  by H. Larry Morgan and S. Bob Sheikh, Infonet, comparing private
  line, router-based, X.25 and frame relay network interconnect

For copies, I suggest calling the publisher, Horizon House,
in Norwood, Mass, at 617-769-9750.   (FYI, Vint Cerf is listed
on Telecommunication's advisory board.)  And a hearty round of thanks
to editor in chief Tom Valovic for pursuing these topics.  (Tom, is this
the best way for com-privers to get their copy?  Will Horizon want
any $$ for this?)

The Infonet article uses Infonet examples, not surprisingly -- but
the points apply to ANS, PSI, Uunet, etc., and it's about time [we] 
started gathering our wagons in favor of demonstrated technologies
(IP).  You'd be surprised how few folks in the trade press know about,
and understand, the state of the commercial art, versus doing their
best to hop on the frame relay bandwagon.
