- I realize that this request does not directly relate to this
- newsgroup; however, I have been unable to find a more suitable one.
-
- Essentially, I need information regarding Token Ring LANs for a report
- I am preparing, specifically on the following points:
-
- Is Token Ring, as the name suggests, a ring topology? A general
- handbook I read implied this, but later claimed it was a star
- topology.
-
- What is the preferred network OS for Token Ring?
-
- Can UNIX PCs and Suns be connected on a Token Ring Network?
-
- Is it possible to run NetWare 3.11 or Microsoft LAN Manager on a Token
- Ring?
-
- Is it possible to establish a link or router between a Token Ring LAN
- and an Ethernet/Netware LAN?
-
- Please excuse the marginal relevance. Also please reply by email to
- the address below. Thank you.
