I think RTAI is the solution really. I made the mistake of going with RTLinux in the first place because it was better advertised, the only problem is finding the time to deal with the changeover. As far as I understand there are newer patches for the kernel that fsmlabs won't release to us (I would have thought that that was explicitly illegal under the kernel's gpl), as they want to make money off them, but I may be way off there. Understandable, but the problem for me is as that a university researcher trying to get one robot to talk to one computer, the only way I could afford the paid version is out of my own pocket - not very tempting.
