Or is there a spelling mistake? It looks like that Zeitnet has some kind of merging with Cabletron System. I will redirect your question to them. One thing people may need to know is that the tech. support of the commercial companies for BSDi and FreeBSD . Normally, most commercial companies will have technical support on BSDi product, but not on FreeBSD, even though their products are working on both O.S. platforms. The reason is very simple: $$$. If you have difficulty to get FreeBSD driver from Zeitnet support, you may ask them for the permission to get the driver from me, and you can get an adapter from them. (Do not ask them for the source code permission). -Jin From owner-freebsd-atm Sat Dec 7 01:40:09 1996 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id BAA18423 for atm-outgoing; Sat, 7 Dec 1996 01:40:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from silver.sms.fi (root@silver.sms.fi [194.111.122.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id BAA18416 for ; Sat, 7 Dec 1996 01:40:06 -0800 (PST) Received: (from pete@localhost) by silver.sms.fi (8.7.6/8.7.3) id LAA04117; Sat, 7 Dec 1996 11:39:31 +0200 (EET) Date: Sat, 7 Dec 1996 11:39:31 +0200 (EET) Message-Id: <199612070939.LAA04117@silver.sms.fi> From: Petri Helenius To: "Jin Guojun[ITG]" Cc: freebsd-atm@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ATM drivers In-Reply-To: <199612062253.OAA01121@george.lbl.gov> References: <199612062253.OAA01121@george.lbl.gov> Sender: owner-atm@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Jin Guojun[ITG writes: > > If you have difficulty to get FreeBSD driver from Zeitnet support, you may > ask them for the permission to get the driver from me, and you can get an > adapter from them.

That is why it is a formal-commercial release. PVC, SVC, ILMI, and SPAN are all supported.
