Hello Luis,

No problem.  Try this configuration:

                        ______
                       (      )
                      (Internet)
                       (______)
                           |     ----------             
                           |     |Server01|
                           |   //----------
  _____                    |  //                   _____
 (     )   --------     ---+-+---      --------   (     )
( Net-A )--|Router|--/--|firewall|--/--|Router|--( Net-B )
 (_____)   --------     ---+-----      --------   (_____)
                           |                     
                           /
                           |
                        --------         Note:
                        |Router|             --/-- = X.25            
                        --------
                         __|__               //
                        (     )             //  = ethernet
                       ( Net-C ) 
                        (_____)

The firewall has to have special characteristics, of course.  

It has to support multiple interfaces
It has to support serial interfaces
It has to support x.25 interfaces
It has to support arbitrary security relationships among the interfaces 

Firewall-1 software on a Sparc platform meets these needs.  The Sparc platform supports many interface types, including x.25 and ppp.

Regards,

Don
