We've been running IP over token-ring for years.
Last year, we upgraded
all our machines (200 of them) and in the process replaced almost all of
our token-ring hubs with ethernet switches, and our TR nics with
ethernet cards. We have a few old servers and some specialized machines
that are still on TR; we have a Madge "Smart RingSwitch" with both
token-ring and ethernet modules in it; it routes at the MAC layer, and
seems to work great.
You downgraded to Ethernet, huh? Token Ring runs 2Gbps already.
Peace... Sridhar
