Well, I hoped to get FR driver, but the development was stopped (lack of
time, no FR state machine in Linux). Are you also working on this
chip? Then I would be VERY interested in your work.

The SUSE kernel is compilled without CONFIG_DLCI_MODULE. See in
linux/net/netsyms.c

No idea.

I have put all the information I have gathered until now on
http://www.linux.ipl.net/
there is discussion list linux-sync@linux.ipl.net, subsription through
linux-sync-request@linux.ipl.net (Majordomo). Archives at
http://www.linux.ipl.net/list/current/

I did not annouce the whole project, because I really had no time to do/learn
much. So I am just throwing in these resources in hope they will be of some
use. But I would like to at least link all related projects. If you like to
contribute anything to that site, please sent it to me, or upload to
ftp://crds.chemie.unibas.ch/pub/incoming

There is some discussion going on linux-x25@vger.rutgers.edu,
linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu (archives on http://www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists/)
just now. I hope you do not mind me sending this replay to above mentioned
lists as well.

Also Alan Cox is working on a driver for Z85230 (see
http://roadrunner.swansea.uk.linux.org/alan.shtml )
