[comp.protocols.misc] Question about 802.x protocols

thomas@mvac23.UUCP (Thomas Lapp) (08/05/89)

Please help me understand a confusing issue for me.  I've heard that the 
token ring protocol is under 802.2 as well as 802.5  I know that Ethrnet is
neither of these, but I do not understand which is token ring -- .2 or .5.

Also, if these IEEE standards are on-line somewhere, accessable by remote
request (not ftp, since I don't have ftp capability), I'd like to know.

thanks,
                         - tom
