Hello,
We have a customer developing a Unix-based application which must communicate
over X.25 to host applications.  Since there are several different Unix
machines involved in the solution (not all with compatible X.25 programmatic
interfaces) I was wondering if anyone knew of a TCP/IP to X.25 Gateway
product that documented the interface, so that a socket interface on the 
Unix system could access X.25 packets?  This, it seems to me, would keep the
customer's development interface standard (TCP/IP sockets) and let an
external box handle the X.25 interface. (Ethernet TCP/IP to X.25)

Is this feasible?  Anyone know of a product that would meet this requirement?
Please email responses.
Thanks,
