After having experienced all of the colored CCITT docs since 1980, I
agree completely with Dave.

However, last year I bought a small volume, "Painless Packet Switching",
by Bo Lindgren, [INFOTRANS AB], which, although a tranlation from Swedish,
concisely summarizes the relevant standards in an easy to understand
format.  It's an expensive little book, but then, most technical materials
are.  I found it worth the investment, and have actually used it in the
specification and evaluation of X.25 PAD products.
