As I said from the begining, the hard part is the network stack.
there are a couple existing stacks that a person can put a driver into
but I have not decided how compatible they are with ATM Forum standards
(pause to let laughter to end over the oxymorphism of ATM Forum standards).
I think the whole group would hate to end up something that can only talk
to another research machine.
