Chris, Thanks a million for this info. I'm still stuggling a bit with the BSD driver and wonder if you can shed some light on how the ForeRunner card actually operates now days. Is there a place we can look to find documentation on the API to the card? Perhaps including a list of functional changes made to PCA200E recently? I'm excited about using this card in a number of installations. Currently, the FreeBSD version of the driver seems to fragment PDUs in a way which Xedia routers (lucent) interpret as a 'tiny fragment' attack. At that point they discard the entire PDU. New development is going on and I just wonder if you have information which could verify how things work. I'm copying the group which is currently very interested in making FreeBSD a high performance platform using your ATM PCI solution. Thank you, Alex PS: to listen in on the discussion about FreeBSD and ATM..
