I guess the cost for the Efficient PCI ATM card is about $1000. Last time
I ordered about a year ago, it was $1400.  Now, it price should be dropped.

Also, the Zeitnet has PCI ATM driver for FreeBSD now. The board price is about
the same. The Zeitnet also has ATM driver and card for Sparc and Window NT.
(SBus + Solaris and SunOS for Sparc; PCI for Window NT).
