In the US it's a real problem as there are pieces (hosts & gateways) that 
support it and others which don't. And I think the responses on this thread 
reflects what is going on here in the US. Too many don't see a reason to 
change. And without the motivation it will obviously delay.

The change will also be costly for many companies, and they are waiting for 
the others to change. Who are waiting for the other "others" to change.

If you have a Linux box you can probably use it to a large extent, but there 
will be those who don't support it. If I had the time I would have tried it 
just to see what kind of support I'll see...
