I just tried to search in Debian and Fedora packages but didn't seem
to find anything related.

I searched "hdlc" and "x25". The only things I can find are "AX.25"
related things. But "AX.25" is not related to "X.25".

I guess a script that brings a network interface up might not be very
useful? So we might not be able to find it in public repositories.
