There used to be a linux driver for the old Apple LocalTalk PC card; I've tried to figure from that how the card works, but didn't. I believe the Apple card is totally braindamaged, so drop them in the bin (I had three of them :-( COPS seems to be the only vendor of any LocalTalk board (ISA/EISA/MCA/PCI), and they bought the designs from Dayna, so they're the ones to talk to. COPS has some sample code availible at http://www.copstalk.com/ltdev/ltdev.html They also maintain a mailing list, and at least one employee posted in comp.protocols.appletalk a few days ago. After having the driver, one would have to adapt the kernel AppleTalk to work with non-ethernet-ifs (maybe this has been done already, im not current). Hope this helps, Stefan -- Stefan Bethke Hamburg, Germany
