>>Here's the terms our government contact says need to be spelled out:
LAN WAN SMTP DNS DHCP URL SAS PVCS SAN HOD
>>We maintain a list of about 175 terms with accepted industry terms or

Connect:Direct). What's the usual practice where you are? (And if you'd
like to give me cites I can bring into the meeting later on today, that
would be great, too.)

Terms and Abbreviations will meet the requirement. If yes, write it once
and use it many.
