I think 'x' was a special purpose protocol to be used for X.25.
It isn't included in System V.3 anymore, so I think we could mark
it as allocated but extinct.

I'll add:

	't'	written by Rick Adams, primarily used in the BSD/TCP-IP
		world, but could be used for any error-free channel
		which provides it's own flow control.

	'e'	Similar to 't', written about the same time by the
		HDB/BNU people (you know who you are).

	'k'	similar to 'f' for 7-bit in-band flow control channels
		included with PCMAIL which was posted to comp.sources.misc
		recently.

I believe somebody is working on 'z' for zmodem.

Is it time to start a comp.protocols.uucp newsgroup?
