I'm happy to try building, but I probably can't find time
at the moment to do any testing (as it's not a package I
have any experience with and there would probably be at
least a small learning curve).
I have SunLink X.25 on two old release systems (specifically
for building our shipped products), with Sun's C compilers:
Solaris sparc 2.3, SunLink 8.0 (plus patches I think)
Solaris x86 2.4, SunLink 8.0.2
Let me know if this is of any use.
BTW, the X.25 NLI API interface is pretty standard across
most unixs, as most vendors' implementations are derived
from the original Spider one, although there is one part
of the interface which varies (selecting which link in the
case of multiple X.25 links). The odd-ball unixs I've
come across which don't conform to this are AIX and
Digital Unix.
