I know that NetGraph supports frame relay, but I am really not ready to bring in an entire new network architecture just to support Frame Relay. I am looking for some "traditional" driver for frame relay, like those used with ETinc sync cards. Does the ET cards come with driver source code? Is there any DLCI device driver like that in Linux (dlci and dlcicfg)? What is "traditional"? The DLCI driver for linux is more of a kludge than a frame relay protocol driver. There are different philosophies for implementing protocols, ours is to make is as transparent (and painless) as possible for the user without sacrificing functionality. Unfortunately the most common frame relay switch available (cascades) are very much broken, so its a lot of fun supporting frame.
