Yes.
Just assign an ip address to each device and configure your
Masquerading. It could be Imaginet Card and it would work
that way too. What your primary concern is, is getting the proper
kernel support for each device and then ifconfig-ing each with
the proper address information. It's just like have a machine
with dual nic cards, only easier, because with two of the same
nic, you sometimes have to alias each so one comes up as eth0
and the other eth1. In your case you will have eth0 and ttring0
(Or however Token Ring Cards are assigned device names)
This might further give support to my answer. I used to have ISDN
which ran through my serial port. My ttys0 was dynamically assigned
an IP address. THen I had a nic card in the same machine. It had another
address, two different devices with routing between. Nice thing is,
it is built from the ground up in Linux. TCP/IP that is. Ok, I suppose
you could compile a kernal sans TCP/IP.
