IBM sells a standalone Token Ring to Ethernet bridge; I think it's the
8208.  And there are a number of vendors that sell stand-alone IP routers
that can handle both Token Ring and Ethernet ... I know Cisco sells such
a box, and I'm sure there are many other vendors.  You might move this
into comp.protocols.tcp-ip to get the widest range of opinions on the
subject.
