It'll just stop accepting inbound X25 connections & stop allowing outgoing
connections to be initiated. A restart of xotd & all x25 daemons cures this.
It'll show this behaviour every 10-12hrs.

Hi,
I'm using xotd 0.04 by Stephane Fillod with a degree of success, but it
seems a horrible hack. I wonder if this is the best (only?) xotd available.

I've not had time to look at the code; what's so hacky about it?

It's a userland driver using a ethertap like device. That sort of thing
should really be integrated into the kernel. However, it does work, although
not 100% reliably for me at the moment.

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.
