How do I connect a token ring print server to a 10 base T network?

[Fireman]

I have an HP JetDirect 500X print server that is token ring. At least it says token ring on the back near the rj45 connection. Is there a way to connect this to a regular 10baseT network?
I actually want to sell this thing, but thought it would be worth more if it was 10baseT ready.
Any thoughts from the network gurus?

Um, nope, no way.

You can't even put a token-ring nic in your PC and route through.

(there is a way to do it, but it is butt-ugly....)

Sell it.

router, but not worth it.
Replace Jetdirect.

ScottMac is correct.

At work we replaced ~ 550 Token Ring Jetdirects (both internal card and external box) with Ethernet a few years ago. If there was any way to convert them, we most definitely would have.
