Get a cheap hub that has both 10/100baseT and BNC.
Mine is a Dynamode
DM-809STP. I use it to convert the BNC output from my VAX to 100BaseT on
my network.
How common are 10/100BaseT Hubs with a BNC connection? I know I've
never seen one. Any hub I've seen with a BNC connection has been
limited to 10Mbit.
I'd also point this out. Cheapernet wasn't specified for 100MBit, so a hub
that transfers 100Mbit won't do this on the BNC connector - or it would
have to be a switch that could translate the rates. But at the time
100MBit switches became cheap enough, there was already an infrastructure
for twisted pair, and noone normally needed BNC connections anymore.
