  PC Pursuit used an X.25 network running at 2400 bps.  It is long gone.  This
  system was generally the same as that used today for remote access to networks
  such as Tymnet, which allows logging into CIS or AOL via a local telephone
  number.  I would not consider X.25 to be a model worth following.
