In general it should be quite easy to modify any driver for the Fore 200E
to enforce some kind of rate limiting.  It has native support for limiting
the per-PDU outgoing cell rate by means of a simple "data/idle cell"
specification.  If you don't need a flexible API that allows you to
change this rate on the fly, it'll probably just take a two-line
modification to set it to the rate you want.

For an example how this is done you can look at the Fore 200E driver
for Linux, available from

Good luck,
