 OK, Cool!  That worked but my worry is still--why?  Why am I getting this 
message 50 or 60 times in a row all day long?  Thanks for the help Marty and if 
you have any idea as to the root of the problem or how to get to the root I 
would gladly accept them.

that is a normal message whenever another token-ring
device starts up or shuts down. If you do not want to see those messages,
change your token-ring line description to LOGCFGCHG(*NOLOG). You can do
this even while the line is varied on and active.

IIRC, it means two things. First, somebody powered up a workstation with a =
