The NCR TOWER family of systems will indeed connect you directly between
TCP-IP and an ISDN such as X.25:  
	TOWER 32/200 w/ OS 1.01.00, WIN-TCP/IP 4.00.01
	TOWER 32/[357]00 w/ OS 1.00.01, WIN-TCP/IP 4.00.01
	TOWER 32/[46][05]0 w/ OS 3.00.01, WIN-TCP/IP 4.00.01
	TOWER 32/8[05]0 w/ OS 2.00.00, WIN-TCP/IP 4.00.01
The base link-level driver (HDLC) and X.25 services (X.25Net) are
also   required.    Additionally,   there   is   an  Host  Packet
Assembler/Disassembler  (HPAD)  product  available   to   provide
library  routines into the X.25 cloud; combined with the TCP/IP<-
>X.25 modules, you can literally run  TCP/IP  over  X.25  between
nodes, whereever they are in the world.  Finally, the is also  an
interface product for direct cloud contact from the TOWER known
as Terminal Packet Assember/Disassembler (TPAD).  It functions
much like a Hardware PAD, except it allows direct cloud access
from your CRT screen.

Hope this helps!
