Are there still any commercial X.25 nets in operation?  I had some peripheral involvement with Tymnet in the

also: yep.

commercial x.25 based packet radio networks, and the wired parts to keep them together, are still around.

(the non-commercial ones also ofcourse ;)

The last I knew all the ATM (Automated Teller Machines) all ran on X.25

Most do run SNA - or at least did.
