cisco makes a device that is called a Protocol Translator. It speaks
> X.3/X.29/X.25 and Rlogin,Telnet/TCP/IP so that users can traverse from one
> world into the other. There are mechanisms for setting up transparent
> connections so that the user doesn't have to enter two sets of names. It
> allows devices out in the X.25 network to appear as if it were part of the
> TCP/IP internet and hosts on the internet to appear as if they were part of
> the X.25 network. The device has the ability to map incoming X.25 calls to
> any IP address and port and incoming Telnet/Rlogin connections into X.25
> calls with arbitrary Call User Data. The next software release will also
> provide LAT support.
> While not strictly a level 7 gateway device, it does provide forwarding
> service above the transport layer. Drop a note to
> snipped-for-privacy@cisco.com for more information.

I was wondering it the protocol translator still exists?
