[PEN-TEST] X25, all but forgotten?

Hey folks, I was sitting around with some friends over my holidays and we were discussing X25 auditing. For example, does anyone do it anylonger? I know that a great many companies still maintain connectivity to X25 networks like Transpac,Datex,Datapac,Tymnet etc. Seems to me it would be an important part of any network audit given that many X25 backends live in dusty corners and are rarely secured with serious diligence. Having said this, I thought I would pose some questions: 1. Is anyone doing this anymore (legally)? If so what X25 networks are you seeing folks still connected to? 2. Are there any automated tools for this? I remember SALT scripts (and the like) for Minicom and Telix (anyone remember Telix?) as well as some dcl and sh programs for this, however I have not seen them for years (literally). 3. Anyone in commercial scanner land thinking on adding this? It's an idea we mulled at Secure Networks but discarded it for a number of technical reasons and an obvious marketing concern - we had no idea if there was a market for it.
