I am currently un-aware of any PC NFS products that would work with the
4Mbs Token Ring.  If there is such a product please let me know.

I a currently using the IBM TCP/IP for the PC to TELNET, FTP, etc to
from other TCP/IP machines on our network.  The IBM software includes
an IP gateway between Token Ring, IBM PC Network (new cards) and ethernet.

The IBM software is part of Program Number 5798-FAL.  It has a fair number of
TCP/IP based programs which I will not detail here.  The TELNET emulates an
h19u ascii terminal or uses tn3270 if talking to a VM host.  TFTP and FTP
are available, though there is no server mode for FTP.  There are also 
several commands to deal with mail from the PC that I have not played with,
but they seem based on the Rand Mail Handler as far as the user interface
is concerned and use SMTP to POP server.

Though I haven't tried it you could probably also gateway with a Proteon
p4200 with both 4Mbs token ring and ethernet.

I belive FTP has suport for TCP/IP on the token ring, though I am uncertain
what they recomend at the gateway between token ring and ethernet.

Hope this helps some,
