There used to be quite substantial usage of X.25 in Brazil, for a lot longer than usual, for POS transactions. x.28 in fact, that would be PAD to X.25, may still be the case ? (RENPAC and 3028 come to mind)
The management of some Nortel GSM devices also could be done over X.25, usually, it would be backhauled over XOT (or in this case, the Nortel equivalent) to the management station, from the devices (I'm happy to say, I don't remember if from the BSCs, or BTSs). Of course, QLLC and running QLLC to LLC (token ring) devices, was the cherry on top..SNA on top of X.25, converting to token ring SNA.. Somehow, I can't get rid of the nightmares and the waking in the middle of the night, thinking about LAPB, and Clear codes and etc., LUs and PUs...the horror...the horror..
