Where should we go from here? Setting up our own virtual X.25 PSDN   
tunnelled over IP maybe? Something crazy with SNA?

An ISO TP4 / DECnet Phase V network with IS-IS routing would be very cool,
and support Hobbyist licensed X.400 mail and X.500 directory services,
terminal sessions via VT and file transfer via FTAM. And with a bit of
poking the last free Isode (ISO Development Environment) release - v8.0.2
IIRC - might be made to work on NetBSD.

SNA would be very cool too.

Cheers,

Andrew
