I read with interest the note on the proposed ATM Pilot. You may be interested to learn that Interop has established a company in Paris - called Interop Europe - and they will be running the first INTEROP Eruope week in October this year. Among the many events taking places are: 1. A two day graduate level tutorial on ATM to be given by Martin de Prycker. 2. A number of sessions in the Interop Conference on ATM in the LAN and WAN. 3. A Solution Showcase demonstration of ATM technologies interworking between LAN and WAN products - approximately 20 companies have already signed up. 4. A wide range of equipment and demonstrations in the Interop Exhibition. As you know, Interop in the US has strong ties into the research community - indeed, Dan Lynch, President of Interop, is on the IAB. Interop Europe hopes to develop similar strong ties to the European research community, and has already sponsored a number of activities and events. This message is not intended to be an advertisement for Interop, but a source of useful information. If anyone would like any further information on Interop Europe, or the INTEROP '93 Europe Paris events, please let me know, and I will arrange to have information sent to you. Dennis
