Re: Encapsulation X25 over IP
Brian,
Like I said, they may not know how and as a result they have to
listen to you. If you justify it and show them what to do and they

There is no question of appreciation here. We have all had our IP
problems in the past and we know what some telco's are like.
Cheers,
