Gandalf, Develcon, and cisco all make boxes that can act as a telnet/Ethernet
to PAD/X.25 gateway.  We have on order a cisco Protcol Translator to serve
this purpose.  Several vendors of Unix boxes, for instance SGI and Sun, sell
software and hardware to make the Unix box an X.25 gateway, including PAD <=>
telnet translation functions.
