IBM's April 16, 1986 announcements told of an upgrade to the Token Ring
Network/IBM PC Network Interconnect Program so as to provide for inter-
connection between two PC Networks.

According to IBM's scheme, you dedicate an AT to running this program;
the AT has two network adapter cards in it, so as to be connected to
both PC Networks.

Unless IBM has enhanced the program, there are serious limitations:
most notably, only 16 devices on any one network could be identified
to devices on the other network.  

If this information is out of date, I'm sorry.
