Hello from Gregg C Levine You mentioned that you were working on an emulated ethernet adaptor, Patrick. Where are you now on it? I had orignally thought about the statement that one of us made, that of using the Ethertap interface. That's been depreciated in favor of the Tun/Tap interface. Why not write code to contact that arrangement? That's just a suggestion Patrick. Paul you stated "So I wrote a little daemon which makes that happen, by posting reads on each of the tap<n> units and propagating any received packets to the other tap<n> units. " Can you send me a copy of that program? I'd ask about a copy of E11 for Linux as well, but I think your license forbids redistribution, except from its vendor. Thanks anyway guys!
