I've only been following this thread loosely, so please forgive me if I
missed the point here, but I thought that what Mark was looking for was a
way to configure call setup facilities for specific X.121 addresses.
This has been a very useful, if not necessary, thing to be able to do.
Last IP-on-X.25 implementation I worked on, we had to set up calls with
opposite-of-default facilities for calls to a certain PDN overseas.
