RCN has Xenomai 3 kernels available, but the Machinekit rtapi layer needs to be adapted and the user-space binaries/libraries need to be available (either from official Debian packages or built from source and installed). All in all, it's likely to be *MUCH* easier to get a 4.x PREEMPT_RT kernel working. Work has started, but more help and testers would be appreciated.
