Alex-
Actually, there is such an animal as a Token Ring crossover cable. You are
correct that you can't use one to "back to back" Token Ring ports. They are
used in our environment for a direct station attachment (Cisco router ports)
to Bay Networks C100 Tokenspeed switch ports.
The RJ-45 pin outs are:
1-->1
2-->2
3-->4
4-->3
5-->6
6-->5
7-->7
8-->8
