New connections are strongly encouraged to be Standard Service DDN X.25.
But you can still request and get 1822DH connections with a waiver
from OSD.  I've been told that if you request 1822DH and give fairly
good reasons, they'll give it to you, but you shouldn't be timid
when doing it.  Nobody I know of who has 1822 is having it replaced
unless its a long distance connection with ECU's or the like.  I
should know, our MILNET PSN has something like 7 1822DH connects to
it.  They all work just fine, which is more than I can say for most
X.25 connects.  You can send me mail if you'd like to discuss this
offline...
