Yes, you can get the code from
	ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd/bsdatm1.4.tar.gz
or

>> what about SVC's ?

No signaling is supported.  If you want to use LANE or IPoverATM, this 
driver is not for you.

But if you want to use ATM just as a high-speed point-to-point link,
the driver works fine.  Also, if you want to do low-level ATM
research, the driver is simpler and easy to play with.
