I'm not familiar with token ring myself. If I were you I'd follow the other
fellas suggestion and go buy 2 cheap ethernet cards. They can be gotton for
around $20 a piece these days, if not cheaper. Then just use a crossover
cable.

pin 3 - pin 1
pin 2 - pin 6
Just make the rest straight through.

OR, you could simply use a null modem between the two if the're both linux
systems. The info on howto make that connection is in the PPP-HOWTO.

If anyone reading this has been able to get a ppp connection through a null
modem between linux and win95 please email me on how you did it. Also it
would be preferred if it could be setup to also use the AutoPPP feature
aswell. I will also post this question to the proper mailing lists.
