you got it...i just went though this...its basically a kernel recompile
i'm not sure about red hat, i use slackware, and my kernel is 2.0.XX. I
know it supports token. first go to /usr/src/linux
then make config
answer the questions...about network drivers
you should get to some questions about ether support, then arcnet support
(ack) and then token ring... answer yes to token ring support
then just make clean; make dep; make zlilo or zimage depending and your set
good luck...mike
I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which
governs least"; and I should like to see it acted upon more
rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts
to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which
governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that
will be the kind of government which they will have.
--Henry David Thoreau
