All you need is to have both the Ethernet card and the Token ring card
in one machine.  Then give the ethernet card and the token ring card
different network addresses.  Alsom put in routing statements to forward
messages from one network to the other.  You may want to do this with 
nameserveing (but if this is the only sub-network that you have you
may just want to do static routing, since setting up a nameserver can
sometimes involve a lot of work).
