Right, I'm talking about the physical layer. I have both a (Cayman) Gatorbox and a Shiva Fastpath to try as well which may, or may not work. All this is surplus "give away" junk in unknown condition - except the Dayna cards which are unused-sealed in the original box. I'll write the driver if I can get support from CopsTalk Inc, who has bought the rights to, and is currently selling the Dayna card. >From: Peter Childs <pjchilds@imforei.apana.org.au> > >In article <199609271254.IAA01418@robin.mcnc.org> you wrote: >: Any drivers (FreeBSD/Linux/NetBSD) for hardware appletalk?
