Nope, I'm 99% sure the RJ45 cable is not a regular CAT4/CAT5 style ethernet
connector, since I have some of the same Asante adapter dongles with RJ45
jacks on the end of them (IE the AUI->RJ45 connector fits into a box, that
has another RJ45 jack on it that's the ethernet interface.)
Man I hated thinnet :)

OK, the 840AV has one of those mini-centronics-style

I have some "Asante FriendlyNet Thin Adapter"s that will
mate with this and work -- for a 10Base2 network!
The Asante box has an RJ45 on the rear. The cable that
mates to the network connector on the 840AV has that
funky mini-centronics on one end and an RJ45 *plug*
on the other.
This choice of connectors -- and the "Thin Adapter"
moniker -- suggests that I could plug the RJ45 *plug*
end of this cable into a hub directly?
Is this true? Or, just wishful thinking (and an unfortunate
choice in connectors on Asantes part)?
