This requires an expensive gateway, I would try to contact the Big
Private networks who might already have one, try to look for x.25
networks first. Maybe even your carrier would know.  I know
Lexis-Nexis & Counsel-Connect ( Legal related services) operate on
both the internet & x.25 nets they provide an outbound x.25->Internet
Service but not an inbound one.
