I have just begun looking into Macs on Token Ring networks and was hoping
to build off the existing knowledge base of the net.

What I want is the ability of a Mac with a Token Ring card to talk Token
Talk to the other Macs on the Token Ring but to put TCP/IP native on the
Token Ring when it is time to talk to Unix machines through an IP router.

I have not dug very far, but it would appear that the intial attempt has
IP encapsulated in Token Talk which is ignored by the router as a non-ip
packet.  How do I un-encapsulate it?

Any information you can send me will be greatly appreciated.
