for Solaris 10 update 5 and later.  Linux…I think it should work _depending_ on the distro, but some things I've seen suggest one may need to manually build and/or install the driver for Ubuntu and Debian; but that was a few years old, and the situation may have changed.

The only two choices I've seen repeatedly mentioned for Solaris are Edgeport and Keyspand, and the Edgeport seem to be more expensive.

I haven't used either myself; I probably know of some that have used some such thing, but not that I could find out any time soon.

The waitress asked, "Do you want lemon or no lemon with that iced tea?"
Naturally, I said "yes", and then burst out laughing, because there simply
wasn't any other answer in Boolean logic.  She didn't get it, but I got
the lemon, which I wanted anyway.  Later, I realized a quantum computer
could have offered another answer: Schroedinger's Lemon!
