I'm real hesitant about looking at the Linux driver until we're sure that no one is going to sign an NDA with Digi and write a complete object-only driver. In spite of the availability of a Linux driver Digi requires signing an NDA to get access to the documentation for the intelligent boards. Is anyone interested in a shareware object only driver?
