About 10 months ago I put out a similar inquiry.
I believe Proteon Corp. may have a token ring card,
and some drivers, but not specifically for SCO Xenix.
There was also no solution available from sco at the time.
Everyone was providing ethernet.

I believe IBM may have written drivers for their token
ring card, but for IBM Xenix.  I believe I recently saw
an IBM announcement dropping support for IBM Xenix.
You might try investigating AIX for the drivers.

But I didn't find a complete package for SCO Xenix
at the time.

I did the same investigation for LU 6.2 support.  Rabbit
said they had support for IBM Xenix, but would need
seed money for SCO Xenix.

I suspect you may find someone who would provide the drivers to
an OEM for up front money.  But I would like to know if
anyone has the drivers ready to go for Xenix users
(token ring or LU 6.2) on an off the shelf basis.
