John,
At our last goal setting and progress review meeting we voted not to take
on any new projects until we cleared our current slate. If UW can hold on
to the gear, we can address the issue again in 3-6 months. Maybe we'll have
cleared enough tasks to add a new one. We certainly have enough token ring
boxes and nics, and they are going nowhere.
How many MAUs and cables are there? One of the problems with token ring
MAUs is the connector. Are the connectors coax (bnc) or RJ45?

Hey I've been meaning to ask you guys, would some token ring hubs be useful? There is a pile of token ring networking equipment in the United Way's basement, would have been in a dumpster a long time ago, had I not suggested they go to a recycler. Let me know if your looking for something in particular, I haven't looked real closely at what they are.
