Your idea of a driver and mine are clearly different. Design a board,
write a comprehensive (you'll probably have to look this word up) portable
driver
that runs in MSDOS, 4 unixes and Windows, write frame relay, X.25 and PPP 
protocol engines, several manuals, and an extensive API and call me when
your done. Most likely it wont work. Then when you get it so companies are
willing to spend good money to run in 24 X 7 with conifidence...call me again.

Idiot.
