In any case there is still an Todo on my side: the routing

issue... Have to fetch my ATM equipment from the corner where it is
collecting dust to setup a testbed.
Guys:
Native NATM support would be nice, because it lets FreeBSD be used as
a direct ADSL endpoint without an external ADSL router.
I have a pair of ATM25 cards, an ATM25 crossover, and an
ATM25-to-ADSL G.DMT modem bagged up ready to ship to someone who has
the time and motivation to work on NATM.
Also: I did have an ATM25 capable switch which I left at ICSI in
Berkeley, I don't know where it is at the moment due to people
movements.
Do we have any of the necessary software parts to do simulated ATM
hardware similar to what if_tap does for Ethernet? Using the VIMAGE
stuff and virtual ATM hardware might open up the door to a more
accessible development and test environment. I did the NATM locking
work essentially "blind" due to a lack of test environment locally,
which seemed to work out, but a software test system would go a long way.
Having at least a virtual interface would be nice. Should be fairly easy
if only UBR (unspecified bit rate) is supported.
