Assuming you have already done the kernel patch and the device driver is
proplerly loaded...

1) on each machine start by running "atmarpd -b" - this starts the arp
   daemon

2) run the command "atmarp -c atm0" to create a classical IP interface
   atm0

3) give the interface on each machine an IP address
   on machine 1:  "ifconfig atm0 192.168.1.1 up"
   on machine 2:  "ifconfig atm0 192.168.1.2 up"

4) Tell the computer how to find other host on the "atm network" by
   linking each ip address with a pvc 
   (in this case, interface 0, VP 0, VC 70 )
   on machine 1:  "atmarp -s 192.168.1.2 0.0.70"
   on machine 2:  "atmarp -s 192.168.1.1 0.0.70"
   You can type "atmarp -a" to display the results of the above command

5) ping the other address...
   on machine 1: "ping 192.168.1.2"

---hope this helps
