I'm trying to build a cheapo X.400 -> SMTP gateway, with PP andc ISODE.
As far as I can see, it looks like NetBSD has got all the hooks needed
to drive a suitable interface card, if I could only find one.

Before I try to cobble up something with an 8530 and hack some driver
code, has anyone got working drivers for a cheap (< $1000) sync card?
It only needs to run at 9600/19200bps for the application that I have
in mind, so a really dumb card (it has to be, to be prepared to have
anything to do with the dreaded X of 400 :-)) should do fine.
