Peace... Sridhar
Also what is a good way to bridge Token Ring to
Ethernet so that
these 486 machines can use my router/cable modem?
Last time I did that was quite a few years ago, using a spare Linux box.
I think the TR side of things was a Madge PCI board of some flavour,
with the Ethernet side probably being a 3Com 905 PCI (100mbit).
As I recall, Linux supported the IBM ISA boards back then, along with
Madge cards using Madge's own drivers. I don't think there was any
support around at all for Olicom cards. Things may well be better these
days... people have had about ten years to write a few more drivers :-)
