Has anyone here know of or have experience with connecting a 3B(5/15/20)
to Telenet? The AT&T ads mention x.25 but don't say whether they
offer both the hardware and software to support a real connection to
a public network.
the local AT&T people don't know, but think it does. This is not
reassuring when you're looking at a $100,000 system purchase.
If you have any experience with this, I'd appreciate hearing from
you. {Or if you know of someone at AT&T who actually knows
something...}
Thanks,
Bret Marquis

AT&T has announced X.25 for the 3B2/3B5/3B15/3B20 families. For the 3B2 and 3B5/3B15, an X.25 Programming Library and PAD functions are included. The 3B20S/A has the Prog. Lib. and BX.25 session level services. The package runs on the ISC card for the 3B2 (same card used for 3270 Emulator+ and 2780/3780 Emulator+) up to 9600 baud. (I have not heard the results of the 19.2 Kbps testing yet, but the ISC card should be able to support that baud rate when using only 1 of the 2 ports. If anyone out there has the results, please share them). The package runs on the SADL card on the 3B5/3B15 up to 19.2 Kbps. The 3B20S/A package uses the TN 82/UN 53 card set up to 56 Kbps, the TN 75 up to 9600 baud, the TN 82 up to 19.2, and the UN 141 8 port controller up to 19.2 Kbps. X.25 for all of these machines is either in Beta or Controlled Introduction at this time. (3B2 is still in beta). All of these packages are TELENET and Accunet certified. Chris Donahue AT&T Info.
