Does anybody know about the software package that works as X.25 PAD and runs
on i386? It would provide connection over the synchronous modem line.
Preferably it would be implemented over Sys.V. Streams and the virtual
circuits would be available as /dev node files.
I heard about ADAX but very long time ago and their quality was very poor then.
The company names and phone numbers would be greatly appreciated.

We tried hard to get Adax to work, but couldn't. Nor could the Australian distributor. We also tried Symicron, where we could at least bring the link up, but it had no X.28 PAD facility. No end user software at all really, just a library. Incoming calls didn't work properly either. All of the Australian installed sites developed their own application specific software using the library provided. We are now running System Strategies Inc. X.25 Express software with an Emulex DCP-286i card. This does the job very well; incoming and outgoing calls work fine. The only real problem is the lack of a streams interface, making outgoing UUCP calls very difficult. Virtual circuits are not available as devices. If you want to write an application which uses X.25 directly, you must use their library. -- Jan Mikkelsen janm@dramba.neis.oz.AU or janm%dramba.neis.oz@metro.ucc.su.oz.au "She really is."

I just got their product catalog and on page 4: AT&T X.25 Network Interface Unix System V Release 2.0 or later Compatible with CCITT 1980 and 84. Just don't ask them the price - $3400 to $5600 The phone number is (800) 247-1212 -Nathan Lane Digital Technology Service Santa Barbara , CA nlane@well.sf.ca.us

NetCom II by The Software Group fully supports X.29 streams using the normal unix tty interface. I have successfully used UUCP over X.25 with their software, a year or so ago.. ask Derek Vair (derek@tsgfred.UUCP) for more info. -Marc. -- Marc Boucher Internet: marc@PostImage.COM BIX: mboucher Dir., Informatique Telephone: (514) 489-8989 FAX: 489-0242 (H) PostImage Inc. 6265 St-Jacques O., Montreal QC Canada H4B 1T8

Email to The Software Group in Canada, derek@tsgfred.group.com and tell him my best regards. They have a very nice and stable solution. I already installed it twice and it works fine.
