My idea was a little lower level, hoping to use emulated serial links (tunneled over TCP
links and thus error free) to create point-to-point connections in a way that would be
compatible with Dynamips, so I could leverage the Cisco IOS X.25 support for the DCE
(provider) side of the network.
There are other options too, but right now it's still just an idea in the planning
stage.
I'd need to figure out the legal aspects here, and if I'd run afoul of the
authorities if I were to run a virtual router in the cloud if I owned the original
hardware, etc.

X.25 is basically a datalink layer (HDLC with some tweaks). What would such a virtual
network look like? I figure something like tunneling X.25 semantics over TCP, or
something along those lines. Or sending approximate X.25 PDUs over UDP, the way the SIMH
DDCMP implementation does for that data link. If you get this working, it would maybe open up the
possibility of reviving the DECnet over X.25 machinery. :-)
