If you are running Linux/X.25 to another machine running Linux/X.25 without an intermediate machine operating as a DCE, it will not work. What you need to do is build *one* of your machines with the LAPB layer operating as a DCE.? To do this edit the linux/include/net/lapb.h and change the line:
#define??? LAPB_DEFAULT_MODE??? (LAPB_STANDARD | LAPB_SLP | LAPB_DTE)
to:
#define??? LAPB_DEFAULT_MODE??? (LAPB_STANDARD | LAPB_SLP | LAPB_DCE)
and rebuild your kernel. I hope that this will be a run-time option eventually, but at the moment this is the only way to do it.
This part makes me wonder about two things:
1) Copying and renaming the lapbether driver to be lapbether-dte / lapbether-dce so that I can load the kernel module that I want.
2) Configuring an X.25/LAPB/Ether switch system as the DCE for the LAN.
I wonder how much, if any, of this I could get to work in a UML as opposed to a full / fat VM.
