Yeah, I had done this at one point.  Easy kludge, but I lost the XT to 
our secretary here and its really only a kludge workaround IMHO.

I also need to connect *all* of the over 300 IBM 486 machines on our 
token ring network to the network with a reliable means.  I did at one 
point argue to all hell with my bosses over token ring vs ethernet and I 
lost.  I also got chastised for foul language.  Go figure.

IBM cut us a deal on our rs6ks and the token ring.

I want to get a decent driver written for BSD so I can set up a nice BSD 
subnet.
