Continuing the protocol-name discussions...
proto "e"'s name is indeed given as "error-free" in the source. From a very
brief look I was unable to determine the exact differences between "e" and
"x" protocols, except that there are more DEBUG statements in "e" and more
fiddling with timeouts in "x". "x" is given as X.25. Certainly the sources
are *very* similar.
I think that "x" is meant for use over bursty, packetizing X.25 links and
"e" over non-bursty non-packetizing links but I don't really know.
