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. The original posters problem just happens to be half
the reason I
even care about 10Base2, my Amiga 3000's NIC only has a BNC
connection, I also have this problem with my DECserver 90L+. Though
I'm not using either at the moment.
I'm in the same boat - Amigas with 10base2 only. Pretty much anything
else I have that does networking has 10base2 _and_ an AUI at least.
In my experience, it's much easier to find an old 10baseT hub with a
10base2 port or an AUI (to which you add a 10base2 transceiver) than a
10base2 to 10baseT media converter, but the media converter will be
smaller if you can track one down.
