try this address at lanmedia: Dave DePuy <dave@lanmedia.com> that's who we interacted with when we co-ordinated driver integration into OpenBSD. I didn't do the driver integration, another person took the NetBSD driver and ported it to OpenBSD. They got a free T1 card for their efforts, don't know what the status of the T3 driver is. Currently the driver only supports point to point, no support for frame. The person who integrated the driver made some comment re: integrating sppp support into OpenBSD in order to support frame. Since FreeBSD has sppp already should make it easier. Once again, i was only the facilitator who got the vendor and developer talking. I am definitely NOT a kernel hacker. diana On Thu, 15 Jul 1999, Len Conrad wrote: > > >Do you know anything about the lanmedia cards? > > Hi Hans, > > No, I just learned about LMC in this surprisingly long thread, but am still > waiting for somebody at LMC to respond to my email to their "sales@" > box.
