Unless I misread the little grey wall, DEC seems to have settled on
only doing Ultrix X.25 thru the Micom PAD while the DEC X.25 hardware/
networking products are only supported under VMS.

You might take a look at some of the ethernet terminal servers that
support X.25 access modules.  This seems like it might be the best
way to go, especially if you want to provide X.25 access to a group
of machines.

I'd be interseted in hearing from anybody who's actually used one
of these, especially for supporting binary-transparent connections.
