Guess you haven't heard of ICAO's ATN [areonautical telecommunications network], it is based on OSI's CLNP, TP etc with X.25 as the air/ground subnetwork granted, all the ground infrastructure will undoubtably run TCP/IP as well, however there is no avoiding the bits-in-the-air [as it were] of CLNP on X.25 > > FreeBSD > has enough projects lying about to keep those who are working on it now > busy for decades, so unless you want to become the champion of netccitt, > don't expect much. I'm not so much asking for help as asking that it [OSI/X.25 protocol support] not be made any more difficult [aka the removal of the OSI conditional code in sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.c that occured recently, or the rejection of a patch to such that fixed the prototype warnings] I've been using for 2 and a half years now if at all possible [2.1.0 -> 2.2.5 -> 2.2.7 -> ???] Hey, I offerred to [help] maintain netiso's OSI, I guess no one was interested...
