I have 2 serial, 4 eth, 2 Token ring.

IOS 12.1 bring in some new flow control and traffic shaping stuff, but for a
simple FR switch, it'll be fine.
>3. Are AGS cards compatible with MGS? If I wanted to add a token ring

Some are, some aren't, I can't remember which one is Cbus, which one is
ciscobus.
>4. If an MGS router has an ethernet and token ring interface, can that do

I think so.
>5. Are there any cheaper alternatives to buying the cables for the MGS at

I make all mine myself, using Db15's for X.25, although you'll need
appliques for all of the cards you get.
>Thanks for anyone's help and any other advice.
