I'd love to see it for FreeBSD too. We've been waiting a long time for some token ring person to do the driver. :-) The big problem is that token ring is so rare, even if you could find 10 individuals capable of writing a driver for a Madge or IBM token ring card you'll probably also find that none of them had any access to a token ring network. It's the people with motivated self-interest who are going to end up doing it or not at all. :-) Jordan
