Does anyone know of software for handling the X.25 protocol on Unix
machines ?

In particular, we do not want to have to connect our machines to a
PAD with n serial ports, which will then force us to use up n serial
ports on the computer. Rather, the ports should be implemented in
software as is done on several other systems, with just one physical
connection going out of the machine, but several logical ones.

We would be most interested in specific solutions for the HP 9000
series, but general information on solutions under Unix will also be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Gunnar
