Two comments:

1. When you order a workstation you have the choice of PHYSICAL interface
   i.e. either Token Ring or Ethernet

2. The TCP/IP protocol is generally independant of PHYSICAL interface
   and can run over both token ring and ethernet.

It appears that what you really _want_ is to run on an ethernet
physical interface with TCP/IP as your transport (and other) protocols...
