Are there still any commercial X.25 nets in operation? I had some peripheral involvement with Tymnet in the MCI/Concert conversion, and hear it shut down sometime in 2003-4.
I can say that there are, yes. They are in some gov't and quasi-gov't installations, but they were there, last I looked (and that was very recent). There are probably others, too, but I don't normally look for such things.

I don't doubt that, just like I am inclined to believe there are GDC Apex switches on 4.0 with TAXI interfaces still in place.
