Also if you want to bridge 2 PCs together via SRTLB or DLSW+ you might want
to get a Token Ring NIC and stick it in a PC.
I did this at home. I have a PC with an Ethernet NIC using one router as
it's gateway and a PC with a Token Ring NIC using another router as it's
gateway.
Each router is many hops away, yet I use DLSW+ to bridge the Ethernet and
Token Ring networks together over my TCP/IP cloud.
It's just nice to open up Network Neighborhood and see the other PC there as
if it's attached to the same hub.
