I'm buried right now, hopefully I will get some free time soon. The newbus Olicom driver works AFAIK, but I haven't had time to work on it since the beginning of September. YMMV... The IBM driver is still unfinished...

I guess I have to stick with linux here, until they switch to Ethernet next year... I would love to help with developping the drivers, but I am at the "working through K&R Book" stage and still have a long way to go, before I will be able to write device drivers.
