- Correct, 9.0 and 8.3 do not accept NULL in this command anymore.
- They require a serial line number instead.

- Sure enough.

- an alias route is valid only for calls that come in on the named
- interface.
-
- Example: x25 route .* alias serial 0
-
- If a call comes in on interface serial 0 and matches the
- alias' x121-pattern (and any cud pattern) or in my example any x121
- address, the call will be accepted for the given type of connectivity.
