sorry if this topic feels offtopic for the c*net list, everyone. :)
true fact: i started looking into x.25 because i was curious about
temporary signalling connections and how they work on the Definity. i
wondered whether it would be possible to bolt on a data network next
to the existing c*net voice network to facilitate transparent isdn
interworking. sort of like how the PSTN was slowly transitioned from
vf-only to a dual vf/packet network with ss6 and later ss7.
my thinking went: if things can be made to work that way, two
c*net-connected pbxes, each with local pri's homing on router that
splits/recombines all the datastreams properly, might could think
they're speaking end-to-end isdn, not even noticing anything unusual!
that would be neat.
so i started gathering equipment and learning how it all fits
together. got a bit sidetracked though, haven't yet gotten around to
answering that first question one way or the other.
it does seem that you can statically configure a set of Definity pbx's
into a larger network in a non-isdn environment, using regular vf
telephone trunks and sending the signalling traffic over X.25.
haven't gotten that to work properly yet either but i'm pretty close.

There isn't a hard line but telephony and VoIP are voice and X.25 is
definitely NOT that. Yes, the telephone companies carried the data circuits
and modems went over voice circuits but hopefully, you know what I mean. CNET
is many things to many people but for example, you won't see much conversation
about cell phones. I also wanted to calibrate to make sure there weren't a
bunch of folks that felt the CNET list was hijacked.
More importantly, to me at least, is some of these discussions might be good to
be "captured" on the x25.org list so that future folks interested in joining
the x25.org network can look back to the epoch of TELEBAHN and find these
conversations. Whether they are helpful or not.....
That being said, there seems to be a lot of people interested in the
conversation so we can keep it here.

I don't mind moving to a different mailing list if that's what the community
prefers.
However, I just re-read the C*NET (ckts.info) page again and I feel like
X.25 falls under the "pretty much anything telephony or VoIP related."
statement.
So I'm just curious if I'm misinterpreting or if the X.25 discussion is
something special.
Similarly, would discussions of ISDN telephony equipment be on or off topic?
I don't mind either way. I'm just trying to calibrate myself.
