When he asked about it referencing a token, I assumed he was referring to
token ring.....maybe it's the chain that keeps the token in the ring,
otherwise it would fall out and just be plain old ethernet?

How on earth is this related to anything that this list is about?
Anyway, a fob is a small pocket on the front of a man's pants or vest. I
know I have some slacks that
still have a fob, but just one or two pair. This was used to hold one's
pocket watch in the time when
gentelmen carried such things. It later evolved to reference the chain
used
to hold a pocketwatch
(haven't you read the "Gift of the Magi"?) and then to anything attached to
such a chain. So, since
we don't generally wear pocketwatches, the fob is now an ornamental (or in
this case not so ornamental)
attachment to a chain, here being ones keychain.
