I am interested in the ATM side. I assumed a single adapter name would list
all IP connections rather than listing on a virtual circuit basis. I also
assumed eventually a person could use Berkeley Packet Filters to display
packets on an adapter card simular to an ethernet card.

of course this level of ATM support is mega-vaporware.
