      A small oversight in the Token Ring Packet driver (from the
      clarkson archive) prevented it from working with the "tokreui"
      program which we still use at our site.

      The problem: the _receiver interrupt procedure fails to reset
      the direction bit used in string instructions.

   Hmmmm...  I'm dubious of the need for this patch.

I'm no longer dubious.  His patch will appear in the next release of
the drivers.  If anyone missed it, I'll mail it out to anyone who
wants it.
