I used to work for a vendor of FDDI cards/router.  We were using the NS BSI
chip and we did support multiple packets / token in certain cases.   This
does improve throughput.  It's really not all that hard with the BSI since
you just need to set up your queues correctly.

Sorry, I can't give out the name of the vendor.  However you can take this
as a hands-up vote.
