I only have two workstations ( IBM RT's ) and they both have TokeRing
cards. Is there some easy way to connect them together with a
minimum of extra hardware.  If not, what's the best way to hook
two machines together?  If I got ethernet cards could I just
string them together?  (Someone was saying that I'd need
thick --> thin adapters.)  Could someone also point me to a good
referance on the tokenring spec?

            Thanks,
                 -Kurt
