Re: Question about connecting from Cisco/Sparcstation
It doesn't look like the Sparcstation 1 has jumpers on the motherboard to
set the serial ports to RS423... but I also have a Sparcstation 4 and a 10
so I guess I'll just use one of those instead.

Re: Question about connecting from Cisco/Sparcstation
Assuming the SparcStation 1 supports RS530 differential serial. RS530 defines the cable, and it uses EIA/RS-423 electrical signaling.
Some Sparc serial ports can be set to RS423. I think you might

Hello everyone,
I'd like to connect my old Sparcstation 1 to Telebahn. I've got a Cisco

Re: Getting started
Isn't the X.25 over serial nominally /synchronous/ serial?
I say nominally because there used to be an *EXPERIMENTAL* implementation of X.25 over /asynchronous/ serial, e.g. RS-232.

Re: Getting started
I’d recommend reading the Wikipedia articles on x.25, x.28, and x.3 as they may help.
Briefly, and hopefully I get all this right! …
X.25 defines a layer 3 encapsulation, like IP, but as I

Re: Getting started
I would still like to use my Cisco router since im not really using it. What does XOT, X28, PAD etc mean? Does "xotpad" use a router like my Cisco one or can it use one?

Re: Getting started
I'd not want to connect a host through a PAD, but it would be kind of nice
to have one for connecting terminals or modems :)

Re: Getting started
I’ll give a call to your IPX tomorrow - I’m personally partial to native x.25 implementations vs an external pad anyways.
That said, I would like to see an old Tymnet engine in

Phil,
my Sun is a SPARCstation IPX running SunOS 4.1.4 and SunLink X.25. I don't
have an external PAD, sadly.

Is your Sparc connected via an external pad or SunLink?

Re: Getting started
The quickest start for me was to clone and build xotpad from here:
lowobservable/xotpad: X.25 PAD for XOT

Then, you can try out calling some x.25 hosts per the community doc

Do you have a machine with a synchronous serial interface and suitable X.25

Years ago, the MajorBBS (and later Worldgroup) supported x.25 with the PC XNet card from OST.
Does anyone have any experience with this combination or an interest to see it revived?

Hi,
just so you know: I'm switching off my TELEBAHN gear for three weeks while
