I know people who use x.25 for vplus and it seems to work ok.
Except for the non-standard hp pad issues (but that's another
story for another time). We have a customer who is using frame
relay to interconnect a remote lan to their 3k and they are
running v/plus with wrq to make the vt connection. It works ok
for them. Depending on the situation you sure gotta like the
frame relay pricing!
