In re a counterproposal to a version of X.25 (x.pc?) for serial dialup,
how about someone digging out a copy of SLIP (Serial lline IP) and
posting a review of it here.  If its 1) portable 2) verifiable and
3) of moderate size, then I would suggest its use as a short-term
facility for connecting diverse micros/minis/mainframes pending the
arrival of non-experimental ISDN.
