I  have been requested to come up  with solutions to connect some campus 
IBM  machines to our campus TCP/IP network.  The models are a System 36, 
an 4181 and a 9370. The System 36 and the 9370 are currently stand-alone 
but  would perfer to connect to an ethernet. The 4381 is on an IBM Token 
Ring with a bunch of PCs, so the preference there is to do TCP/IP on the 
token  ring. I can connect the token ring to the campus network with a a 
Proteon router, but can the 4381 talk TCP/IP on the token ring? 

What  has been  done at  other sites?  I hear  that IBM has solutions to 
these  problems,  but  I  also  hear  the  the  solutions  are messy and 
expensive. 

The  location with  the token  ring would  also like  the PCs to use the 
campus  network. Has anyone written a IBM  token ring adapter (real IBM) 
driver for PD software like NCSA Telnet? 

Thanks,
Russ
