I've been building boatloads of ether-to-ether routers for ADSL and 
other customers lately. Today I get a call from someone using token 
ring on his LAN that wants one of my homebrew firewalls for an ADSL 
connection. I notice in LINT that some Olicom token ring adapters are 
supported. Having never played with token ring before, I'm wondering 
how tough it will be to route IP through a machine with ethernet and 
token ring. Is it really as easy as listing oltr0 in rc.conf as an 
interface with an IP? (Please please please please please. :-) Will 
dhcpd work on the oltr0 interface (dhcpd requires bpf)?

   ifconfig_mx0="inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
   ifconfig_oltr0="inet 192.168.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
   network_interfaces="mx0 lo0 oltr0"
   gateway_enable="YES"

Thanks for any pointers...

jon
