>>Has anyone been able to get a Token Ring Adapter to work with Windows?

Yup, I run windows using IBM's PC/LAN for Netbios and our DOSIP stuff
for TCP access.  Both run over IBM's token ring with no problem.  Well
almost no problem.  Every now and then, if you touch a network drive
while in a dos box, and then touch it in protected mode, the network
drive goes away.  It's not a consistant problem for me, so I haven't
been able to track it down.  When you install windows it asks you which
LAN you have.  I believe there have been a couple of updates for Novell
to work with Windows.  If you're running Novell, you might want to call
them and ask them about it.

From experience I've discovered that the token ring packet driver and
IBM's PC/LAN don't particularly get along real well.  Either will refuse
to load if the other is present (at least that's been my experience).
The token ring packet driver works well with Novell though.
