Does anyone know of a product to run token ring over fiber optic cable without 
using a fiber optic MAU?  We have a router located in the basement of a large building and fiber optic cable running vertically throughout.  To connect to an Ethernet we use fiber adapters from Fibermux to extend the 50 meter drop cable length to connect a thick Ethernet on the 11th floor to the router in the basement.  We have succesfully connected 24 Ethernets in this building using this method. A token ring using an IBM MAU exists on one of the floors.  Is there any way to do the same thing with Token R
