  You just mentioned the two smaller things he has done, he has written
  nearly all of the Linux-ATM software, which has been going for years,
  It will be in 2.4, just missed 2.2 by a small amount,

How close to useable is Linux-ATM? ATM sounds 'way cool', and it'd be
great to see it on linux. Most importantly does it support the QoS
support that ATM offers?

related: will ATM ever make ever it? i noticed you can buy PCI atm
cards which connect via CAT-5, and ATM switches.. etc. But will ATM
ever be a viable option compared to 10{0,00}baseTx?

regards,
