I spent a year working for Proteon. I got a good lesson in all things
Token Ring too. I still love it, but I'm not running any at this time.

I'm not sure, but I might be the first person to have witnesses TCP/IP
routed on TR hardware (at least commercially). My understanding is that
Proteon offered that ability before anyone else, and I prototyped the
boards and tested them.
