Re: Some questions about Siemens card and TR103

I found pentanet-1.2.30k.tar.gz  and pentanet-linux-1.1.6k.tar.gz at
that location.

But both packages still do not include complete driver sources, just 2
wrappers, drv/pentadrv.c and drv/pentasn.c.
All the important hardware accesses are in binaries. 
Porting to non-Intel platforms, i.e. Alpha, would not be possible with
this kind of driver.
