Semi-OT: Running CAT5 Cables - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

28 Oct 1999

I'll reaffirm that!  My 10BT LJ3 is attached to my NETWARE lan via coax and
the rest of the LAN uses 100BTx or coax.  The 10BT is provided by a HUB
connected to the coax segment via one of those little AUI <=> coax adapters.
These slightly larger than a small matchbox devices are often just lying on
the ground or in a junk box at your local computer-junk-dealers' place

It's often cheaper to offer $5 for a box of stuff containing one or more of
these plus a bunch of stuff you probably won't need than to pick it out and
offer to buy just the adapter.

  on them though,
and the 10Base2-to-10BaseT adapters cost about $100-200. 

Easier and cheaper for most of what you have use AUI to 10BaseT transceivers.

 They are only $20 to $25 tops these days new.
