RE: x.25 status in kernel

["Hendry, Andrew" <ahendry@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Haven't tried to use LAPB over E, or X.25 over LLC2. 
But, X.25 over TCP got the job done on another project migrating away from solaris.
http://www.fyonne.net/ for some more details on x.25 over TCP.

I have wondered about the ALPHA status there myself. Its been in there a long time, what does it take to move from alpha? 

Cheers,
Andrew.

Subject: x.25 status in kernel
 
Hello list,
I am reading about the current status of x.25 in Linux kernel.
Is the information in net/x25/Kconfig up-to-date?
Is the x.25 over LLC 2 still not present in kernel?
Is this information (from
http://www.baty.hanse.de/linux-x25/doc/FAQ.txt) true as of 2.6.23
kernel?
	"LAPB over Ethernet driver" for doing X.25 over lapb over Ethernet
	      (CAUTION: this is only intended for testing, it does not
	      implement a standardised protocol, it uses ethernet
	      broadcasting which might disturn other hosts)
Is this statement (from kernel sources) still valid?
 *      This is ALPHA test software. This code may break your machine,
 *      randomly fail to work with new releases, misbehave and/or generally
 *      screw up. It might even work.

The reason I'm asking is that our customer wants to migrate some
services from Solaris (using Solstice x.25 stack) to Linux and I need
to find linux stacks out there - I started with the implementation
currently in Linux kernel.

Thanks
m.
