To name two: - Matthias Drochner <drochner@zelux6.zel.kfa-juelich.de> has extended native mode atm sockets for datagram use, implemented ILMI, is playing with signaling, and also has a driver for a DEC ATM adaptor. Given Matthias activity I am hoping that he can coordinate future changes and updates to this code as I am very short on time these days. - Jason Thorpe <thorpej@nas.nasa.gov> is writing a device driver for the FORE 200 ATM adaptor as part of a project he has going at his place of work. is that the kind of info you are interested in? maybe you can talk to Matthias a bit so that everyone might be able to work together? chuck
