Hi,
   I realise the LINT file says that the X.25 networking code compiles but
is supplied for "amusement value" only.  Has anyone ever tried this code
and/or actually tested if it works --- I'd like to hear of your experience?

The possible application is to have a FreeBSD box talk to some plant
controller that apparently only has X.25.

Thanks,
phillip
