>What has changed between Sunlink X.25 v8.0.2 and v9.0?
Quik Sum:Some tools are better, Kernel parameters are
Quik Sum: handled auto-majically, but 7.0 was best.

 We recently upgraded from Sunlink X.25 8.0.2 to 9.0 and wondered why, really.
The x25tool has changed - the kernel parameters section has been removed, you
cant change these now, it's done automatically.
 Also there's some new config files which you can edit to change parameters if
you cant use x25tool, which can be quite handy.
 There are a couple of other new features, which may or may not be of use to
you, they dont mean that much to me...
 MultiLink Procedure - allows more than one physical interface to be used to
connect a DTE and a DCE.
 DLPI - Data Link Provider Interface, some kind of API.
 X.32 - client only implementation of X.32
 V.25 - allows Sunlink to be used in dial-up configurations.

 I dont know about your site, be we were happiest with Sunlink 7.0!
