Hi Troy,
this really has to become part of an FAQ. I just picked the following
from
some former posting of this list (you might want to take a look at
http://www.rtlinux.org/rtlinux.new/mailing_list/) :

If you _do_ need it from the RT side you could look at this package
ftp://ftp.lineoisg.com/pub/rtnet/rtnet-0.9.0.tgz).
It is restricted though in serveral ways (e.g. support for UDP only and
currently only on type of NIC).
Good luck
