ATM test equipment

Hello!

A few weeks ago I posted the following question:

>For the evaluation of the ATM abilities of the microcontroller
>MPC860SAR we need a PC with ATM card (155 Mbps fiber) for testing

Thanks for your answers. Now we do have a suitable solution. We use a
PC with an ATM adapter from Efficient Networks. As operating system we
use Linux 2.1.104 (current developer kernel) with atm on linux 0.37.
It is still an alpha release, but for testing purposes stability is
not the point. There are handy command line tools with which I can
send and receive AAL5 frames as well as single (AAL0) cells and
display their contents or the complete cells. Exactly what we need. It
works fine.
