XOT
Hi,
I'm using xotd 0.04 by Stephane Fillod with a degree of success, but it seems a horrible hack. I wonder if this is the best (only?) xotd available.

I've not had time to look at the code; what's so hacky about it?

It's a userland driver using a ethertap like device. That sort of thing should really be integrated into the kernel. However, it does work, although not 100% reliably for me at the moment.

I've been thinking about working on this for a long time, as I have written a driver for a serial sync card that has a X.25 stack in firmware and by means of the wanrouter subsystem allows tcp to be carried over X.25, having infra-structure to make one protocol work on top of other on a easy way is something interesting to have, but I haven't looked at xotd, if I had perhaps I'd be of the opinion that the current infrastructure could be easily used to have a X.25 over TCP in the kernel.

Ah, you mean it's very existence is a hack :-)
Any idea how you write a Linux driver that uses another Linux driver for it's I/O?

Look at ncpfs, smbfs, TUX, khttpd, IPX and Appletalk working on top of SNAP that works on top of LLC, etc.
