[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] IP. over X.25 and Packet Driver

R.J.Letts@sysc.salford.ac.uk (05/08/91)

In the UK Academic community there is a suite of programs which run over
X.25. There is a software interface definition for it.
Two Manufacturers produce cards with this software driver
(Seel in Edinburgh(Scotland) and Netcomm)
If you want the spec of this interface I'll see if i can send it you,
as I don't think it is quite in the public domain (though not owned by
either of the companies that provide drivers )

There exist at least one Packet Driver (Frontier Technologies) and one
Protocol Stack (the X25DRV kernel we ship with "generic" PC/TCP) which
handle Class 13 - X.25.  Class 13 will get explained much better in
v1.10 of the spec, which I hope to have out in 30 days or so - note that
it is only defined for IP-over-X.25 at the moment; if people are interested
in working on XXX-over-X.25, let me know.

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I certainly would like to have
the specifications.

Do you have practical experiences of IP. over X.25 at Janet or at your site ?

Best wishes:
