Does anyone out there have any experiences trying to run appletalk
over an X.25 service? We're setting up a Wide Area Network and have
been asked to look into the feasability of such an arrangement. At
first glance it seems like a bad idea because of the appletalk timeouts
and the heavy packet charges incurred by the dynamic routing. However,
I'd be very interested in any real experience that anyone has had.

Thanks,
