From my perspective, an X.25 virtual circuit is opened on behalf of a
client protocol.  It's the client that ought to know whom it's going to
communicate with, and therefore should provide the destination X.121
address for a call.  Thus, it seems reasonable to have client protocol
address to X.121 address translation tables specific to and part of the
client MIBs.
