Another general complaint is that 10BaseT to 10Base2
media converters are
too damn expensive. You can't swing a live cat without hitting a coax
AUI tranciever in a junk bin, but I've never seen 10BaseT-coax converter
that didn't cost $100+.

Well, when I was initially shifting from 10Base2 to 10/100BaseT at home I
bought a 8-Port 10/100 Hub, and a 10BaseT-to-10Base2 converter. Definitly
very expensive. I've since replaced the converter with a 8-port 10BaseT Hub
that has a 10Base2 connector (cost me $5 at a swap meet). Wish I'd just
bought a 10BaseT hub like that one with the 10/100 Hub when I did my initial
switchover.
