Is anybody here doing any GPIB programming in Linux?

For those that just want to know:

GPIB is general purpose interface bus used on many test instruments like
oscilliscopes, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers.  Hewlett packard's
instrumentation division (now Agilent) calls it HPIB but it is the same
thing.  The name thing is similar to Firewire (Apple) vs IEEE-1394 vs
iLink (Sony).  There is decent support for the well known PCI boards
available in Linux.  I'm not a strong C programmer so I don't really know
how to use them in Linux.
