  They may not be appearing in terminals, but X.PC and MNP are certainly
appearing in *modems*: I have two friends who make their living writing
packet protocols that run in about 2.5 sq in of board space inside several
modems.
  And TYMNET has a X.PC to X.25 gateway facility (down thar in the excited
states (:-)), so one can Emac away happily 1200 miles from one's host with
minimal flow-control and delay problems. [cf my earlier rant about negotiated
echo on x.25]
