xotpad

X.25 PAD for XOT.

Features

Okay, so this is just a prototype for now... the goal is to create a cross-platform user space PAD allowing access to X.25 networks using XOT described in RFC 1613.

• User space X.25 over TCP (XOT)
  • Modulo 8
  • Modulo 128
  • Flow control parameter negotiation (packet and window size)
• Interactive Triple-X PAD (X.3, X.28 and X.29)
• Host PAD providing access to local processes
• DNS-based X.25 address resolution

Usage

Quick Start

To connect to a host:

xotpad -g xot.trysteropac.net 73741100

To start an interactive X.28 PAD, and call the same host:

xotpad -g xot.trysteropac.net
* call 73741100
...
Ctrl+P
* exit

Use Ctrl+P to recall the PAD, this is similar to the telnet Ctrl+] sequence.

To exit the interactive PAD, use the exit command.

By default, the interactive PAD will not accept incoming calls. To listen for, and accept, incoming calls:

xotpad -g xot.trysteropac.net -l

Incoming calls will be automatically accepted, assuming the PAD is free.
