X-Mailer: MR/2 Internet Cruiser Edition for OS/2 v1.1 Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Are there any token ring network cards available that run nice and stable under FreeBSD? I have a client with 20 odd PCs all running token ring, they want to get onto the 'net. The only options are buying a token ring capable router (expensive) or using a FreeBSD machine running as the router, cache, mail etc server. Also, in the above scenario... there is no reason why this same machine could act as a IP filter between the serial device and the token ring card?
