Token ring had advantages over coax or hub Ethernet networks with collisions. Switches eliminated those advantages. BTW, I recall trying and failing to get Linux working on a microchannel PS/2 & token ring. I was able to get it going on a ThinkPad with token ring card, but it required a minor change to a config file. I was using Mandrake at the time, IIRC. --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
