Re: [Linux-ATM-General] tuntap variant for atm ?

[chas w. - C. <ch...@cm...>]

I don't believe that linux-atm has a tuntap today.  The closest might
be atmtcp.  it shouldn't be too difficult to change the userspace half
of atmtcp to send/recv the atm frames to your local program instead of
another atmtcp instance on other machine.
