- I don't know about export controls, but IBM sells software that runs
- on PCs that lets you build an X.25 net. A friend of mine and I were
- thinking of selling it in the Carribean, but opted for other greener
- pastures. In addition, you can also build a very expensive X.25 net
- on an SNA backbone. I know no one in his right mind would want to do
- this, but it is possible.
