A while back, someone was kind enough to point this out to me, so I'm happy to pass it along here. There is a "packet driver" in the clarkson collection called IBMTOKEN.COM. It makes your IBM token ring card look like an ethernet card to programs like TN3270 and NCSA Telnet; you even get an ethernet hardware address. It's medium-sized (14K), quick, and neat. The only problem is this: I have OS/2 Lan Server, and the DOS workstation TSR's do *not* co-exist well, as far as I can tell. I must unload the workstation's network software, then load IBMTOKEN, then re-load the work- station lan TSR. Bah. I guess that's what batch files are for. Anyhow, I don't know how this will work for you, but I'm initially optimistic. In your config.tel file, just specify the packet driver interface, and you should be up and running. I just don't know if IBMTOKEN.COM will co-exist happily with IPX and NETx; haven't tried it. Phil -- Phillip Tracy Northwestern Univ.
