Overview
--------
Using the IBM ARTIC Support for IP Over X.25 on Windows NT
(hereafter referred to as IP Support), users of the following
operating systems can create client-host WAN connectivity for IP
applications using X.25:
- Windows NT Workstation/Server Version 4.0, with Service Pack 3 or later
This software will connect two remote machines via an X.25
network and allow them to use the widely available IP utilities
and applications to communicate, instead of forcing X.25 specific
application development. Users and applications may use existing
Windows NT interfaces to ping, ftp, telnet etc. between two remote
machines, client or server, without specific X.25 development.
The IP Support conforms to RFC1356 and upon installation the
user can configure IP addresses and X.25 NUAs in such a way
that attempting to send IP datagrams to a configured remote
IP address causes a virtual circuit establishment and the
subsequent transmission of the application's datagrams.
The IP Support is written as an NDIS 4.0-compliant miniport
driver.

- IBM ARTIC X.25 ISA Adapter
- IBM ARTIC X.25 PCI Adapter
