   Further to Christian's reply I would point out that DTE/DTE
X.25 connections are possible and that the method is defined in
the CCITT and ISO standards for CONS. Basically, the only
problem is that one side must act as a DCE for the purpose of
assigning logical channel numbers. This is done using restart
packets. There is no problem at layer 2, since LLC2 is
symmetric.
