This will not be an extremely busy machine (sitting >behind a 56kb link takes care of that) but it does need to be reliable. This seems to come up about every 5 months or so and each time the token ring folks divide themselves into two camps: 1. Those that care about token ring support but don't want to implement it. 2. Those who could implement it if they cared, but do not. What we need is a third camp, namely those who both want it and wish to implement it, or we'll forever be without token ring support and that's the bottom line. Sigh. Jordan
