The cisco X.25 software can be setup to forward X.25 calls based on
destination (called) X.121 address. However it sounds like you just want
the Sun to participate in the IP over X.25 routing you already have setup.
This should work just fine for the IP over X.25 communication. You will
need to have the Sun forward the routes it knows about to the other cisco
routers on your X.25 backbone. If you are using RIP then this is simple. If
you are running IGRP you can either use static routes or redistribute RIP
into IGRP and back for that one Sun.
