X.25 connection to Mainframe

Question

Hello Forum,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to open this conversation or if I have to discuss this with the remote access forum.
We are trying to establish a connection between a AS/400 and an IBM 3745 through x.25 connection.
Currently the connection goes like:
{AS/400}--[modem]--x.25--[modem]--(router)--{FEP}
and the channel is PVC. The (router) is motorola.
We want to insert between AS/400 and modem a cisco
router so the connection will be like:
{AS/400}-(cisco)-[modem]-x.25-[modem]-(router)-{FEP}
So we have to configure two x25 serial interfaces on cisco router one pointing to AS/400 and the other to the opposite site. I am thinking of coding the following:
interface Serial0/0
description "Link to other site"
no ip address
encapsulation x25
no ip mroute-cache
x25 htc 16
x25 ips 256
x25 ops 256
x25 facility packetsize 1024 1024
bridge-group 1
interface Serial0/2
description "Link to AS400"
no ip address
encapsulation x25 dce
x25 htc 16
x25 ips 256
x25 ops 256
x25 facility packetsize 1024 1024
clockrate 9600
no cdp enable
bridge-group 1
bridge 1 protocol ieee
I have not entered anywhere the x.121 addresses. I suppose I have to configure the local x.121 address at AS/400 configuration.
What do you think of the following configuration?
How can I see if the connection is up?

You could try out with your configuration. It looks good to me. You could also refer to the following URL to get a better
understanding on how to configure cisco routers for X.25 connections. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1826/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800d9bc8.html
