I've been thinking about working on this for a long time, as I have written a driver for a serial sync card that has a X.25 stack in firmware and by means of the wanrouter subsystem allows tcp to be carried over X.25, having infra-structure to make one protocol work on top of other on a easy way is something interesting to have, but I haven't looked at xotd, if I had perhaps I'd be of the opinion that the current infrastructure could be easily used to have a X.25 over TCP in the kernel. - Arnaldo
