Does 386bsd have Token ring support?  If so, I'll dump DOS as fast as
possible and switch over, but if not...  I asked this question several
months ago and got a negative.  Is there any hope at all?  Or is Token
ring so hopelessly proprietary (and unwanted?) that I should just give
up?  My PC has a Token ring card (TR is the only real networking option
in my dorm on campus) and my main use of the PC is using the card (and
Nethack :), so I won't leave DOS unless I can keep that connectivity.

Thanks,
