A related question that has bothered me for many years is whether it is possible to build a toroidal polyhedron out of equilateral triangles, with six triangles at each vertex. I suspect not but have been unable to settle it. A similar question arises if the restriction to "six triangles at each vertex" is removed. This seems likely to be true. Mike Paterson --
