[comp.dcom.lans] Help!!! token rings

kopaz@rdlvax.RDL.COM (John 'Echo' Kopaz) (01/19/88)

prelude:	i know very little about nets and stuff 
		(enough to be dangerous)....

question:	what would be required (hw/sw) to connect a token ring of pc's 
		to an ethernet of suns, vaxen, and an alliant?  i want to be 
		able to rlogin from the pc's and/or submit jobs to mdqs.  i 
		would also like to to stick to tcp/ip as transfer/internet 
		protocols on the token ring (if i can...).

query:		can pc-nfs do this???  ( it would be nice to have all systems
		under nfs.....)

background:	we are running bsd4.3 on the vax, the current sun release, and 
		a bsd4.2 derivative  on the alliant ( all these under nfs ).  
		we are running desk view on the pc's ( also trying other 
		multitasking dos ).

plead:		where would i look to gain knowlage in this area?  
		texts, papers, etc...  ( taking the prelude into concideration )

respond:	via email please  ( i don't have time to read the news all the
		time.:-)

disclamer:	the spelling is mine.
