Actually a driver for NATM is much easier than one for HARP. ngatm adds only a little bit bu allowing to specify parameters for different connection types. Converting from HARP to this should mean taking out stuff. As far as I understand PPP over ATM does not involve any signalling (purely PVCs). In this case using ngatm should be trivial. You need only the drivers, the ng_atm node and a script that plugs everything together. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.gmd.de, brandt@fokus.fhg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
