They are running both IP and IPX protocols and so the easiest way would be to bridge the two. FreeBSD still has the oltr token-ring driver (no manpage however) and FreeBSD has bridge(4) and ng_bridge(4) so I'd like to give it a try if there's any chance of success. However, both bridge(4) and ng_bridge(4) manual pages only talk about ethernet bridging. Hence the simple question: Is there any chance I can use FreeBSD as a bridge between token-ring and ethernet or will I be wasting my time trying to get the thing to work. PS. Before I can try there are some logistics involved in getting all hardware and myself to the customer site so any advise (even negative) is very much appreciated.
