I'm interested in connecting a Sys III unix machine to an X.25 line with the unix machine acting as a host for several users. Preferably, the unix machine would be connected directly to the X.25 line by installing the right software on it. If this is not possible, a low cost PAD might be ok. Any recommendations on the software (perferably free) or low cost hardware to do this? What problems might I expect in terms of flow control, 8 bit transparency, modem control signals (is there an equivalent to dropping dtr on a dial-up line?), etc. On a different topic, is there any PD multiplexer software out there - I have a single 9600 bps line connecting 2 unix machines that I would like to make look like 4 2400 bps lines (ie support 4 users running cu to the other system). Again, flow and modem control are concerns. Using a slip link and telnet is probably not an option on the Sys III machine (no tcp/ip support).
