Hello:
I'm interested in 'resurrecting' the support for X.25 and ISO networking.
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.
Thanks
