After some bad experiences with some early and not so early pronet ring
products, we punted here and went to Fibercom Whisperlan.  This device
looks like an Ethernet transceiver but the boxes are interconnected with
it's own token ring.  We haven't had any problems attributable to the
boxes, usually just the patch cords.  Fibercom is in Roanoake Va.

It's only Ethernet speed, but really, we've not got anything faster
feeding it right now, so it makes sense.
