Hello,

I looked over the FAQs of the various intel based BSDs, but did not
see any reference to Token Ring support.

- Is there any ?
- If not, how far is it away :
  - is there simply no driver that has been written ?
    or
  - is the whole IP code based solely on Ethernet ?

I have various brands of TR cars here (Tropic based ones like IBM and 3Com,
SMC and TCC), and thought about testing around with one of the BSD systems.
Any chance ?

Thanks for any hint ...

Regards

Christoph Weber-Fahr
