download:

	ftp://ftp.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/pub/freebsd/atm/nicstar.tgz

after expanding the files, read the file nicstar/README.

FYI:

There is a reported problem with Fore switches and the SPANS protocol,
in that the swich does not have the end of PDU bit set for the SPANS
PDUs. They are probably using AAL0 not AAL5. I would recommend
adding an check in idt_openvcc() for the SPANS VCC, and open the SPANS
VCC to use AAL0 instead of AAL5. The driver should hand the AAL0 packets
to the HARP code just the same as AAL5 does.

I am sorry, I no longer have access to the NICStAR cards nor do I have
a Fore switch.
