Sallie has retired from IBM and is back at work for a startup in NC.  
RMON has a token ring group that will give you ring order and T/R stats,
so the probe suggestion is good as long as the probes support that
group. Cabletron itself had a layer 2 application to capture info on
it's devices.  If you check www.aprisma.com, the Cabletron Spectrum
applications seem still to be available to manage the Cabletron T/R
boxes.
