It has. They currently support Excelan.

Probably not. The developer's kit is meant to provide access to the
internal programming interface (and to a Berkelely socket interface in
release 2.0 and later) so that users can write and port their own
TCP-based applications. It's not enough to help bring up a driver for
a new card or to substitute a smart card's TCP for the internal TCP.
