I remember trying it. I wanted to clandestinely communicate between
linklocal boxes. I could use it with Unifix linux 2.0 and kernel 2.0.48

I did not find any other operating system, not even linux, who could
use it.

I did not find any hardware except nonmanaged switches who could use it.

I tried to "fix" the tcp/ip stack of a more modern linux. Sideffects.
I did not get it working. To many places in the software.

Kind regards
