Lines: 22 Xref: watmath net.unix-wizards:10983 net.dcom:739 This seems to be a perennial question, but I am forced by necessity to ask it myself. Has anyone out there actually implemented X.25 in a UNIX system to allow process-level creation of virtual circuits, as well as PAD X.29 ("telnet") support? I am aware of the special cards such as ISC's INCard and the ACC X.25 products--I am not too interested in these. I have read of X.25 support within UNIX System V (in face we even got their include files with the release) but I understood that this only supported permanent virtual circuits, and anyway, has not yet been released outside of AT&T. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I remember back in July 83 at the Toronto USENIX meeting that a fellow at Univ. of British Columbia was implementing X.25 under 4.2BSD (which is exactly what I want--a AF_CCITT domain, if you will.) Anyone know about this? / -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima,ihnp4}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
