As Xie has already mentioned, the linux-x25 mailing list unfortunately
is broken for a long time. Maybe David could have a look at this.

I still use the X.25 subsystem together with the hdlc-x25 driver and as
I wrote some time ago this will continue for some time.

I'm also still contributing patches for it (even if only drop by drop).

But I have never used the x25_asy driver.

ACK from my side, even if I'm a bit sorry about the work of Xie.
