Other possibilities for TCP/IP interconnection between Ethernet and TR:

Put both Ethernet and TR cards in a S/6000 and configure it as a router; or

Use a PC to do the same; Commercial (FTP, Wollongong, etc.) or free
software are available; or

We use a cisco router between Ethernet and the Token-Ring which works
perfectly fine. IP routing (you can do other protocol routing also
such as Novell IPX, AppleTalk, etc.) at Network layer is preferable to 
8209 LAN bridging at the Link layer (unless I am wrong). Check the
cisco out, we are a happy customer.
