The drivers are maintained by Imagestream Internet solutions. Go to www.imagestream-is.com for more information. The old SDL drivers are a lot more buggy then the new Imagestream drivers. I know that the frame relay driver has a memory leak but so does the old SDL frame relay driver. We ( I work part-time for Imagestream ) have drivers available for some of the newer cards such as, the PCI cards and we are in development for the new DS 3 cards from SDL. I can't tell you about source code distribution, as I am not directly involved with that aspect of the driver development. You could email jc@imagestream-is.com and he would be able to answer all of your questions. If you have any more questions or comments feel free to email me.
