[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 76013, member: 11"] Down worry Andrew. Token-ring was an old networking technology where each one ring with a token attached to it was passed between users whenever they had to use the network. Only the person in possession of this Tokenring where allowed to use the network. Based on some timeslicing algorithm and a fair share of favouritism, the token was passed on to another user and so on. When the token was not in use, it was normally locked in a safe to which only the most senior staff member had the key. The concept was probably derived from the Van Schoor Tablet system used on single rail lines, where a train was only allowed to go onto a line once the train driver received the Van Schoor Tablet ;) That should clear the concept of Tokenring up for you ;) [/QUOTE]
