Currently, we use X.25 and PADs to connect a few users from Switzerland to Frankfurt. I am designing our future network which will hopefully use X.25 more efficiently. How long does it take to setup a switched virtual circuit, realistically? In order to make X.25 cost effective, I am planning to disconnect the circuit from the user to our host during off hours of the day. But what happens when the user wants to reconnect at a strange hour? Any experiences you have with X.25 and the PTT would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. When is it economical to switch from the public network to a private one? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dan Smith dansmith@olsen %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
