So I have to admit that I think it's a 20+ year old legacy and insecure protocol that nobody should be using.
When the maintainer can't really even test it, and it really has been deprecated that long, I get the feeling that somebody who wants it to be maintained will need to do that job himself.
This seems to be a _very_ niche thing, possibly legacy museum style equipment, and maybe using an older kernel ends up being the answer if nobody steps up and maintains it as an external patch.
