Now Sun France provides a new IP over X.25 for SunLink 6.0.
The virtual circuit management program is named "x25mgr" (not "x25manager")
and supports :
 * static virtual circuits carrying IP traffic (same than old "x25manager")
 * dynamic virtual circuits carrying IP traffic (new, hardly needed in
France for Transpac, in place of "tunnel software").
 * dynamic virtual circuits carrying IP traffic over DDN network
 * dynamic virtual circuits carrying OSI/CLNP traffic over X.25

For dynamic VC, the interface is not a Point-To-Point interface
and routing implications are well described in docs.
Shutdown after idle time is provided for dynamic VC, etc ...

This is a big improvement of old "x25manager" software.
Sun France gives it to all sites with SunLink (SunNet ?) X.25 6.0 licence,
but I believe it is available in USA.
