Is anybody else already doing this? If NOT... I've obtained sources from an old 2.1-RELEASE cdrom (likely obsolete) and placed them in a 'stable' source tree. After some hacking about, I was able to configure and attempt to compile a kernel with the CCITT, ISO, LLC, HDLC options. From what I can tell, all that needs to be done (for the thing to compile) is to sort out function prototyping and some other delcarations. I plan to aquire a Arnet Sync/570i Wan card, and I have access to an X.25 network, so I'll be in a position to perform operational testing soon. Our organization uses X.25, and the platform which performs this activity has some serious Y2K issues. FreeBSD and Intel promise to be a viable alternative since I am planning to 'rehost' this system. First, however, I'll have to set up a testbed and prove that this can be done. (This application is not that fancy or special) This is my first attempt to actually contribute something of value so a little help negotiating the 'community interface' would be appreciated.
