The University of British Columbia have written X.25 socket code for the
4.[23] BSD kernel. It should be straghtforward to plug this code into an
ULTRIX system. The code is available for a nominal sum from UBC to
universities and research institutes for academic purposes. It uses the
synchronous port of a DMF32. I suppose there's a Qbus interface that
will be similar to this device (or the sync. port bit of it), so a new
device driver shouldn't be too hard.

I also understand that the University of Wisconsin are working on X.25
code for a future BSD release. It might be worth asking them about what
could be available for them.
