Token Ring uses an "active repeater," i.e. a MAU. A NIC sends to its downstream neighbor and receives from its upstream neighbor. For this to happen, a relay, i.e. a MAU, must relay the bits. A MAU is basically a set of relays. Well, that's a convoluted way to say you need a MAU. You can probably get one really cheap on e-Bay.
