http://www.udsinc.com/ has a package called Pollmaster that might fit the
bill.  It uses a PC BUT you can map an IFS folder to the PC and essentially
poll to the iSeries.

If the switch really uses X.25 you can also roll your own.  Configuration is
the worst part.  The Lucent switches use a very chopped up version of X.25
called BX.25.  The iSeries does NOT speak BX.25, but Pollmaster does.

Good luck!
