I probably should have mentioned that:  using the Wayback machine I found that the original file seems to be named Bering-uClibc_2.3.1_iso_bering-uclibc-iso.bin.  At least that was the file name in 2009, before the source forge download page was re-organized to put each version behind its own link.  I searched the Wayback machine for various chunks of that name and could not find an archived file.

I also searched Google using various chunks of that name, with and without quotes, and the only place that it directs me to is the source source page. Which doesn’t have the files.

Hence my original email beg. :)

Thank you very much for the suggestions.  I really do appreciate the help.

Besides, Token Ring support was removed from Linux somewhere in the 3.x kernel version range, which means I'd have to use something ancient anyway, so why not just stick with what already works?  So I thought I'd ask:
