Speaking of the DMD5620 (which I think is a good terminak even though
we don't have the layers software running), does anyone out there
have layers running over an Ethernet LAN? 

We have this stupid arrangement of Ungerman-Bass NIUs as terminak
concentraters linked by EtherStrands. The problem (as I understand it...
I haven't hacked on this too much) is that the xt driver used by 
layers et al is assumed to have hardware flow control. Is there a 
way to get around this requirement? (We're working on getting a few
HFC lines working, but it would be nice if there was some way to
use software/no flow control instead)
