What I've been doing in lieu of getting more async lines is creating
virtual lines with autocommand telnet. Like this:
line vty 6
rotary 66
autocommand telnet <hostname or ip address>
no exec
transport input pad
There is a little bit of lag, and it is sort of cheating, but it works.
I'm currently working on segmenting my network, once I'm done I should
have some x.25 services up semi-permanently

Hi Fred.
As usual, it depends on what you want to do.
The Cisco 1841 has separate AUX and CONSOLE ports so you can have a single X.25 “host” at your end. It also has 2 WIC slots so you can probably put a analog modem cards or low density async card in there.
I’m not 100% sure about this but I think almost every Cisco router I’ve looked at will support X.25 although the specific image sometimes matters.
I’d guess that you have a greater than 90% chance of it working out of the box (assuming the router is good).
If you want a higher density of serial hosts, you’d probably want something that has a NM (network module) slot so you could plug in an NM-16A or NM-32A.

Subject: [X.25] Router list
Hi all,
Other than a Cisco 2800 series router, is there a list of routers (software dependent of course) that would make good candidates for usage on telebahn? I have a line on some 1841's (free for pickup) and wanted to be sure these could be used before making the trip (not far, but also not close either with current fuel prices).
Thanks
Fred
