There's nothing wrong with learning some token ring concepts. But
you probably want to have some hands on with Ethernet interfaces as
well.
Other things to do with token ring:
set up a linux box to do token ring to ethernet conversion -
can double as a firewall - very easy
set up a token ring bridge with an old P/S2 model 30 - very easy
set up a bridge with 4 to 16 mbps conversion - just as easy
you could also look for old 3000 routers, or maybe a 2513 with
ethernet and token ring ports.

Subject: buying routers
my query again any more opinions on whether two token ring routers are a
good idea as a basis for building a lab.
Instinct tells me this could be stupid as ethernet is way more widespread,
but for lab simulation it probably makes no differance ??
they are a good price 2502/2504, sub 1500$,
I cannot seem to see 2501s or 3s anywhere approaching this reasonable
price,
I am now study for ccna, but will be going on to the more advanced certs.
thanks
Tayta
