Erlang's OTP stands for "Open Telecom Platform" and is the set of standard libraries and design patterns included with the language. It has nothing to do with authentication.
I recently installed Debian 5 on a Pentium 75Mhz with 16MB of RAM and a 500MB hard drive. Debian still distributes floppy install images which include support for PCMCIA network cards.
Reading the MaGIC spec I notice that it is actually only compatible at the physical layer. Therefore you can't run this on the same network as computers or even standard network equiptment. Really, it seems they only use the same type of cable and a frame-based digital transport system.
The truth in that the people who create these committies don't know what the fuck they are talking about. If they were any less clueless they wouldn't be having this discussion.
