Greetings,

I'm trying to get 386BSD, FreeBSD or NetBSD to run on our network here.
Unfortunately/Fortunately we have a 16 Mbs Token Ring LAN.  And therein
lies the problem.  While after much fiddling I suppose I could write the
necessary device drivers, I'd rather find out if anyone else already has
what it takes to run any of the above BSDs on an IBM Token Ring network?

Any help in getting this running would be greatly appreciated...
