Date: 6 Sep 1995 15:09:03 GMT Organization: CICNet, Inc. Lines: 15 Message-ID: <42kdif$41n@spruce.cic.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: locust.cic.net I have a customer on an all-token-ring network (RS/6k's and MCA PS/2's and all that rot) who needs me to bring up a PC-based Unix system. We have the luxury of buying any desired system and any desired token ring card for the purpose, and we can run our choice of any of the free Unix operating systems on it. Are there any token ring cards supported by FreeBSD? If so, which brand, model and/or chipset are OK? Can anyone comment on the reliability of any of these drivers? This will not be an extremely busy machine (sitting behind a 56kb link takes care of that) but it does need to be reliable. -- Paul Southworth pauls@cic.net
