Right.

There were Arpanet folk who participated in standardizing X.25. But as technology comparisons go, X.25 versus Arpanet were probably as far as you can get apart and still be doing packet switching. Per-packet routing versus virtual circuits with fixed routing (in the network) are clearly the major point of disparity. But reliability in the network, versus none, was another as I recall.

ps. There also were Arpanet folk who participated in creating X.400, but it reflected essentially nothing from Arpanet/Internet mail.
