A WORKING dmc-11 network driver is available from the Cornell U. Dept of
Computer science, (for 4.2BSD). It is a complete rewrite of the driver
distributed with 4.2BSD (which you probably know doesn't work at all!).
We are using a pair of dmc's over a 56kbps sytek channel, and are getting
about 1/3 the performance of our 10mb ethernet.
Typical ftp rates are 6-7kbps, as opposed to 15-25 for ethernet.
We have installed Rick Adams fixes for routing over point to point interfaces,
to allow a logical localnet distributed over several transport media.
These are probably necessary for the routing code to work.
