Subject: IBM Token Ring
Originally this topic was about Apollo TR but several
questions have come up about IBM TR. I happen to have spent
several years with different vendors of IBM Token Ring
hardware and IMHO am somewhat of an expert on the topic. I
would be glad to answer any in depth questions but I suspect
that the majority of the list members would be bored. On the
other had there is always the delete key. Either way, let me know.
I spent a year working for Proteon. I got a good lesson in all things
Token Ring too. I still love it, but I'm not running any at this time.
I'm not sure, but I might be the first person to have witnesses TCP/IP
routed on TR hardware (at least commercially). My understanding is that
Proteon offered that ability before anyone else, and I prototyped the
boards and tested them.
