Do any drivers exist yet, even in the experimental stages, for using
FreeBSD with a token ring network which uses TCP/IP? The machines
that I thought I'd be using with FreeBSD, one running FreeBSD and the
others accessing it via telnet, turned out to be connected via a
token ring network, not ethernet as was my original understanding.
My plans were to use FreeBSD, but, at this point, it appears that I
may end up using NetBSD for this, as I understand that NetBSD supports
token ring.
Any information that anyone can provide about this would be greatly
appreciated!
