We're just going through a Milnet connection and were told that X.25 was
the desired connection protocol.  We opted for 1822 HDH (1822 protocol
on HDLC) connection since ACC makes the IF11/HDH that does that for
our Unibus machine.  As I understand it, the X.25 is only a point-to-point
link to replace the 1822 point-to-point link.  Since both use HDLC bit
protocol, the only difference is the link level protocol (1822 vs X.25).
I can't comment on the differences in performance of 1822 vs X.25
in this configuration.  Anyone know?
