I asked about promiscuous mode at an IBM communications seminar. As
far as IBM's token-ring interfaces are concerned, the speaker gave a
less detailed version of Sam Drake's response. However, there are
other companies making token-ring interfaces. As far as the speaker
was aware, the makers of such interfaces were not subject to any
formal requirement to build them without a promiscuous receive
capability, and he suspected that some of the interfaces on the
market had such a capability.
