I thought someone was working on it. Les Higger (who just posted to questions today) is working on a TR driver; there are actually several people hacking. I was looking at the 802.2 LLC code (which is partly there for the FDDI and partly there for the X.25), and referring to the IBM document "Local Area Network, Technical Reference", part number SC30-3383-03/39F9353 and the "Supplement to the Local Area Network Technical reference", part number SD21-0049-00. I think the LLC state machine, if fully implemented, is a real bear. On the bright side, it would be a significant step towards native NetBEUI support as well.
