The current Pulsar drivers can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openadsl so if anyone has one of these
cards and a FBSD machine then it would be good to get others involved
in testing.

The last I heard from Traverse (last week) was that they were waiting
on a mini-DSLAM arriving so that they could properly debug the BSD
drivers (the Open one apparently exhibits the same problems I'd
reported for the Free one). Mind you, it'll soon be a year since I was
assured that there would be a working FBSD driver available in "two or
three weeks". I do believe it's on its way, albeit slowly.

Looking at the Sangoma site I see that the S518 only mentions Windows
and Linux drivers, but I'm fairly sure there was a card available
(9 month ago now) which had BSD drivers, although it was very expensive
compared to Pulsar.
