And then the QUICC-32...

The '360 family has a support for SS7 and LAPx protocols too.

Back on a FreeBSD-related topic...   ;)

It would be nice to have a cross-development package for these

available for PC systems.

Anybody know of anything workable?

Something we're missing for telecomm applications like IS41, etc.
