>1) Has anyone found a way to attach a 3270 terminal directly to a token ring?

     Use an IBM 3174-03R or 53R control unit.

     There are several software products available (I've seen ads in the
     trades for them) that run as VTAM applications to take print files
     off the spool and print on the printer.  Also, you can hang a printer
     off the 3174-03R or 53R control unit.
