Is the kernel X.25 support still actively maintained?

Is the kernel X.25 support still actively maintained?

[Tomas J. Sokorai Sch.]

Hi,
I've been playing with X.25 networking over Linux, and found that there's 
little information (if any) and much of the stuff is outdated.
I'm trying to get ISODE's FTAM client to work on Linux over X.25. I'm also 
trying to use XOT (with xotd) to communicate with a Cisco router.
There started my problems: I had to make a port of the xotd's x25tap interface 
to the 2.6.x kernel, as the patch on xotd is for the 2.4.x series.
I already have a port of ISODE FTAM initiator that I'm debbuging, that at 
least tries to open a X.25 call to my responder.
I was trying too to get a serial async X.25 link working, but the problems 
went on: No documentation on how to set up the link. Then I found that 
slattach is not patched to be able to set the tty to X.25, and the patch is 
nowhere to be found. I made my own patched slattach, managed to get the 
x25asy interface up, but slattach freezes, and if I try to kill it or reboot, 
the whole machine freezes.
Is there anyone still working on Linux's X.25 support?
It could be nice to unificate efforts and try to get a stable and full 
featured X.25 support for Linux.

Hi Thomas,

 I am working with XOT ( using  xotd ) to communicate with a CISCO router.
 After ,  I  will need implement  FTAM  on Linux over X25 too. Then  I am
interested
to get  a stable and full   featured X.25 support for Linux.

 Any  newness you can contact-me on my  email.

Thank you,

Frederico Faria

I'll probably put my hands on the x.25 code in the coming months, as part of 
my TCPfication world tour :) I'm refactoring a ton of core networking code to 
reduce the differences on network protocol families implementations for the 
Linux kernel, initially I'm doing it on my stacks (Appletalk, LLC, IPX) and 
of course on the net/ipv4 and net/ipv6 code bases, but I'll eventually get to 
things like X.25.

For the curious the latest snapshot of my net-experimental tree is at this
URL:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/acme/v2.6/net-experimental-2.6-20031224.patch.bz2

I've been busy with real life work after this christmas drop :-\

Just a heads up! :-)

Hello All,

      Is anybody working with x.25 now?
      Is anybody use Eicon cards in Linux?
      Can anybody help in setting up x.25 in there?

Yes ! With the GCOM LiS streams and the Eicon X25 libraries. But I'm not 
an X.25 expert :-/

You can make a try !
