I have some fiber interfaces which might be suitable for, at least,
FDDI.  However, I don't even know whether the hardware works; I don't
have enough working fiber interfaces to test, and I'm not competent to
tell the difference between FDDI and Ethernet-over-glass anyway.  For
all I know some of what I have might be something-else-over-glass
(token ring? something more obscure?).

I can do what I can, if someone can handhold me a bit, but my hardware
and my knowledge of its use are pretty limited.
