I do not get the impression that you are software developers, so if this pointer is out-of-line, please ignore it. Your request for a Token Ring driver may be answered by looking at the BorderWare Firewall Server (http://www.borderware.com) We write the software (version 4.0 which currently supports Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and Synchronous interfaces and is administered by a Java based interface) and make it available through an extensive reseller network. You may even wish to become a reseller. There is an evaluation version available, for security professionals such as yourself, to install (on an Intel based PC) and test. If this is not what you had in mind, you might try looking in the NetBSD distribution for a driver. It might compile into FreeBSD 'out of the box.' Regards, Mike. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael S.
