RFC1231-MIB

-- Changes for RFC1231 (Token Ring MIB):
--      Changes from RFC-1239 applied which include:
--              removing import of experimental,
--              adding import of transmission, changing
--              dot5 to be { transmission 9 }
--              instead of { experimental 4 }
--      Added import for Counter.
--      Changed the status from optional to mandatory for
--              dot5StatsFreqErrors.
