I'm afraid the answer is no.  If someone wants to get behind an
effort to support MADGE or IBM token ring cards then we'll certainly
endorse it, but so far none of the token ring users have cared enough
to actually go to the trouble.  This is a pity, but until they do there's
not a lot I can do.  I don't even have access to a token ring network.
