Has anyone had experience with an X.25 analyzer? I have a card running TCP/IP on top of X.25. At the mechanical/physical level, it is RS-449/422. Does anyone else have a similar configuration? What do you use to analyze these protocols? Thanks in advance, /\/\ark Cravey cravey@peyote.cactus.org

Hewlett-Packard released, about 4 months ago, a protocol analyser which can handle RS-anything, X.25, SNA and a whole bunch of others. You might wish to get in contact with them and ask about it. It's bound to cost a small fortune, but it is a nice tool. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Kean Johnston: ..!ddsw1!olsa99!tabbs!kean kean@pscnet.UUCP | | "I drink, therefore I AM" - Dene Rescartes | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Our long-haul network links use X.25 instead of leased lines. When we need an analyzer, we use our fairly trusty Idacom serial analyzer. This gives us a decode of the X.25 packets, but of course does not decode the IP data. I have seen some advertised that are small and cheap. ($$ wise). AIM Electronics in Canada had one that looked pocketable. Most of the TCP/IP over X.25 products that I have seen have some form of monitor for seeing the X.25 packet headers for call setup and clear.

Costs between 12,500 - 16,700 US$. I haven't used it. >>Has anyone had experience with an X.25 analyzer? I have a card >>running TCP/IP on top of X.25.
