That sounds like the Farallon transceivers. They had
an AAUI to RJ45
cable, and then a box that plugged into that RJ45 end. The box would then
go to whatever port type you were using.
Correction on my calling it a Farallon... the ones I was thinking of are
Asante FriendlyNet (may very well be the same that were being offered
that started this thread). I caught my error as I was leaving work, and I
pulled out one of my spares to take home to play with some of the new
computers I picked up this week... I noticed the big ASANTE label and
realized... gee... thats not Farallon like I thought it was.
Sorry... the description of the design is still the same... just a
different maker.
