[Twisted-Python] Is X.25 supported?

[Eric C. Newton]

Twisted does prevent it, but there is no built-in support.  This is
not suprising since X.25 APIs are different on nearly every platform.

I tried re-patching my changes back in recently and had little
success.  I may come back to this in a couple of months.
