Actually a driver for NATM is much easier than one for HARP. ngatm adds
only a little bit bu allowing to specify parameters for different
connection types. Converting from HARP to this should mean taking out
stuff.

As far as I understand PPP over ATM does not involve any signalling
(purely PVCs). In this case using ngatm should be trivial. You need only
the drivers, the ng_atm node and a script that plugs everything together.
