Otherwise, used TR stuff is probably cheaper than used ethernet. 

With new 100 Mb ethernet NICs running under $10, token ring NICs would have
to be much cheaper.  You'll also need the MAU (passive hub) to make them
work.


If you want some TR parts you can probably find someone giving it
away, though maybe you would pay shipping.   Price them on eBay.

Sometimes Fry's has 1000baseT cards for less than $10 now.

I bought a five port 1000baseT switch for $30 from Fry's.
