Well I have seen hubs to which coax is connected. Some

arcnet, but weren't coax hubs ever used for thinnet? Maybe to boost
the signal and get past the length limitation, or maybe to isolate
"problem" branches so they don't interfere with other branches?
We're using such a beast at the usergroup, it's a modular 3C588 repeater with
fourteen card slots so that it may be customised the the particular topology
of the customer. Ours if filled with cheapernet cards, and it certainly makes
the network more managable, granting some of the benefits of 10BaseT (central
"administration", blinking lights) while still retaining the basic bus
topology of 10Base2, which is preferable in many cases to the tentacle-like TP
nets.
