X.25 is different - it's a bit > more tricky to test - especially if you havn't got an X.25 board :) like i said in an earlier message, i will at least get a variant of X.25 running, and have the means to test it, although AX.25 is not necessarily "normal" X.25, it is probably the world's most popular variant... almost everyone on this list could probably get the capability for a few hundred dollars [one-time cost] and a day or two of studying for the license... nodes exist in almost every major city on the planet, as well as the arctic, antarctic, every ocean, countless satellites, as well as a certain manned space station, not to mention the radio backbones which criss cross BFE in almost every country on the planet [except maybe N. Korea], even where phone service is nonexistant... jim -- All opinions expressed are mine, if you | "I will not be pushed, stamped, think otherwise, then go jump into turbid | briefed, debriefed, indexed, or radioactive waters and yell WAHOO !!! | numbered!" - #1, "The Prisoner" jbryant@tfs.net - KC5VDJ 2-meter, 70cm - KPC-3 Plus packet capable
