Newbie: X.25 on Linux over Ethernet & Cisco?

["Bernhard Roth" <Bernhard.Roth@pwrnet.de>]

Hello!

I hope somebody can give me some hints using X.25.

The basic task is to write a linux program which can receive and send X.25
packets to the public X.25 network.
I wanted to use a Cisco router to interface the X.25 side (X.31) to
ethernet.
Unfortunately I'm quite unexperienced doing this so I have some questions:

- Which protocol shall be used on the Linux-Box' site to communicate with
the Cisco
- How is the X.25 routing working? Is it possible to forward and received
X.25 packets to the Linux-Box?
- Do I receive only the userdata or do I need to decode the X.25 packets (I
mean connecting phase etc...)
- XOT seems to be fine (isn't it?) but cannot find as all URL's are invalid
- Are there any examples available?

Thanks for any help :)

Regards
