	DEC does not currently supply an X.25 package for ULTRIX, although I
have heard rumors to the effect that one will be available in the future (the
distant future?).
	There is one third-party offering from a software house in New Your,
which is listed in the ULTRIX source book, my copy of which I can't find at the
moment. I don't know anything about this software, except that it certainly
costs money, and that it probably doesn't drive any of the DECstation
peripherals. 
	I believe there are some public domain versions available for BSD UNIX
(The UBC sockets code springs to mind) that you could put on ULTRIX, although
you will probably have to do a bit of work to get them up.
