[net.unix-wizards] X.25 Software

cherry.pasa@XEROX.ARPA (07/08/85)

I am using Unix System V (UniSoft) which came with 5 or 6 header files
for X.25 communications however, there is not one package with the
release which uses them.  The distribution manuals also refer to the
/net   directory which was also not a part of the distribution tape.
Since there are not any net programs, other than uucp, I was wondering
if something got left out. 

 Does anybody know of a method of incorporating the X.25 protocol in
software such that it may be used with a standard RS-232 type tty
connection?  Public Domain preferred.

it appears that AT&T is making extensive use of generic X.25 as well as
Bell X.25.  thus, a number of packages have a handful of common include files
which have ended up in /usr/include and /usr/include/sys.  since all of these
go out in a System V Release 2 distribution, we get to see these but have
nothing that actually used them.
	now, if you want X.25 for UniPlus+, you can ask UniSoft if they are
selling any, or check with X.25 vendors who may have just what you want.
in the Bay Area, try Adax, TITN, or X.Dot (there may be others).  on the
east coast, NYC area, try System Strategies.
