Run KA9Q on the PC with 2 Ethernet cards installed or even 1 Ethernet
and 1 Token Ring.  I havn't found a better or less exspensive router
running on a PC.  KA9Q can be FTP'ed from flash.bellcore.com

Yes it works fine on a MicroChannel bus.  I'm not sure how a 3COM
server operates do I can't really answer this, though I highly
doubt that the 3COM software and KA9Q would be happy sharing an
ethernet card.

There is also a free package called PC-ROUTE that is optimized just for
this purpose.  It only supports the WD8003 card.  I forgot what archive
it is found on.  You might like it better if you canot meet the
licensing restrictions of KA9Q.  -David-

I am looking for the version of pc-route which supports packet driver.

I am currently trying to connect a token ring network with a ethernet 
backbone and need a bridge or router.  If anybody knows of where to find 
this version or has any words of wisdom I would appreate it.

Look in support.txt, found in the packet driver distribution.  If this isn't
the obvious place to look, where should I put such information?
