Greg,
a long time a go while still working for Computer Division of Philips Electronics I used X.25 and X.21 extensively on various proprietary O.S.-es. X.25/X.21 (or PSDN/CSDN) was used for Teletex (CCITT T series, TTX, better than telex but lost to FAX which was easier, cheaper and legally acceptable).
I still have some dedicated boards which Philips used for X.25, X.21 and SDLC. At a customer side in a test environment with SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 SDLC links are still used, X.25 was phased out a few years ago. Same with DEC Tru64, a multi-port SYNC-2000 with appropriate DEC software could support both X.25 and SDLC. AlphaServer DS25 with SDLC links still in production.
I still have all the applicable software for SCO UNIX and DEC Tru64.
Cheers,
uncle rubl
