Yes, this is purely for nostalgic reasons. It's great having an
actual X.25 network again after so long. The routing and PAD access
is accomplished on emulated Ciscos (using dynamips/dynagen). DECnet
Phase V/Plus/OSI is unfortunately needed by VMS in order to support
the X.25 protocol itself. However "xotd" will work on any linux
system, provided you mod a network listener daemon to bind to address
family X25 (I modded telnetd as a simple test) so you have something
to connect to.
And if anyone knows where I might find an old tape installer image of
PSI for TOPS-20, let me know. :)
Add me to this. I'll use my real Cisco and some sort of terminal server hackery.

So Mark Abene and me (well 99% Mark Abene) has managed to get a working X.25-over-IP setup
going. We can currently connect Linux systems and VMS boxes, but unfortunately they have
to be running DECNET Phase V..
In any case, it's a fun toy, I don't think it's actually useful in any sane
sense but I quite like the idea of having my own X.25 network..
