I'm about to loose an important X.25 access to a SUN running Sunlink/X.25 only because the guys running that machine need the second serial port for another laser printer. I have two alternatives: Either persuade them to use a FreeBSD box and connect their laserwriter there or find a X.25 solution for my FreeBSD box (Anyone knowing a company offering such a solution for FreeBSD? I remember some company having announced something like that during the last week stressing that they chose FreeBSD for its superior networking - but I lost that mail). So the questions are: o Can a FreeBSD box substitute laserprinting a la Sun3 (OS 4.1.1) (with all these filters and printer download stuff) (I believe their's is a Apple Type LW) ? o Can a FreeBSD box turned into a X.25/X.29 box with affordable costs? Last resort would be top abandon X.25 at all. --Chris Christoph P. U.
