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? I’ve not found an example of the ISA card, but what I do have is the headers for the DOS device driver and the MajorBBS kernel with x.25 support. I’ve been working to implement the DOS device driver in a fork of DosBox-staging with the intention to implement a thread to accept XOT connections and translate them to relevant API call results. So far, I do have MajorBBS believing it has found the card, and trying to poll it for packets. Anyways, if this is interesting to anyone and/or if anyone has interest to hack on this too, let me know! —phil

Hi folks, sorry for the late notice: This Saturday is another TELEBAHN Saturday, and I'll be carrying my X.25 gear to the Classic Computing Festival which takes place on the weekend in Dietzenbach. If you have the chance, I'd appreciate it if you could bring up some of your TELEBAHN gear so that visitors have a chance to feel the lag. :) As a reminder, my systems are: 23000100 cisco 23000200 VAX 4000/105A running VMS 5.5 23000300 SPARCstation IPC running SunOS 4.1.4 Cheers, Hans

If anyone happens to have the Sangoma S503 x.25 drivers for DOS, please let me know! Regards, Phil

Hello everyone, I'd like to connect my old Sparcstation 1 to Telebahn. I've got a Cisco 1841 with a WIC-2T, can I use a CAB-SS-530MT cable to connect the WIC-2T directly to the serial port on the Sparcstation? And then run Sunlink on the Sparc to connect to Telebahn? Btw my dad worked for Telenet back in the 80's and when I told him about this project, he said "why would anybody want to do that?" ?

Hello, Here is an ISO of SunLink x.25 8.0.2 http://iommu.com/sun/sunlink-x.25-8.0.2.iso I am wondering if others have SunLink or Solstace products to exchange. Regards, Kevin

Does anyone have any recommendations about starter gear to start learning about X.25? Is there a particularly cheap model of Cisco that's available for XOT? What version of IOS is best?

Hi folks, I'm doing a small presentation on TELEBAHN and other retronetwork things this Thursday, and if you have any gear that you could run between 16:00h and 20:00h UTC, that would be great. If you bring something up, please also let me know the NUA. Thanks! Hans

Greetings, I've added another delegation to the google doc. Can someone with access to update DNS please do so at their leisure? Thanks! --phil

Hi all, I'm brand new to this whole project and X.25, looking forward to learning things. I run a dial-up/telnet BBS (TuxedoCat Lounge) and have managed to set up a Cisco 2821 router, connected it via the aux port, and set up a XOT rotary to get to it the board. I've added an AAA number, can I please get this added to DNS? --bwann

Greetings all, I mentioned some months ago about an old ISA card (“PC XNET”) that implemented an x.25 PAD and had a DOS API. I have finally found an example of the PC XNET in France and had it shipped here. It appears to work and I am now testing an old DOS BBS Software (“The Major BBS”) that had support for the PC XNET. The host is accessible intermittently at NUA 303001. There may be some double echo problems - please let me know if you come across that. The software is mostly a bone stock install, so not much to see. I’ll work on that in the coming weeks, and once I’m confident of the configuration, I will list the NUA in the google doc. Regards, Phil

Howdy, I'm pretty happy with my Cisco to BBS connection now, feel free to try it out at 51010000. TuxedoCat Lounge BBS, running Wildcat! 4.20 for DOS (under Win 7). I only have a single serial connection from the Cisco to the PC right now so only one person at a time can be connected via x.25. The board should be up 24/7, free registration, supports usual ANSI or plain-text, also available via dial-up and telnet access too. Looks like I need to get another version of IOS to support x25 translate and/or wait on getting a new Cisco card in to support more people. have fun, bwann

Hi there, I just added zone 588 to the google doc. Please update the DNS. At the moment, only the router is online, no system yet Peter
