Untrue. While running NFS over an X.25 link is a singularly bad idea, BOS
_does_ support UDP over such links. Specifically, BIND, among others,
depends on UDP. We've been running a very similar setup here for several
months, and it seems to be working OK. There were some startup problems,
and there are still a few things that bite us occassionally, but all in all it
works.
