  I't just that an RJ45 didn't Have to be
ethernet, so I had to check. 
Indeed, it could be a serial connector, a phone jack, ISDN, or even (if you
were looking at an Asante FriendlyNet adaptor) the AUI side of a
transceiver.

  Also, it was small enough that I wasn't even
thinking it was a
 transciever, so thanks Pete T.  Most modern networking cards
 pin out at 10bT anyway, wonder what the native signals are here
 (Quadra)? 
Well, I'm assuming that what you have is a small box with an RJ45 socket,
and a short cable with something that looks like a tiny Centronics printer
plug, but with fewer pins?  That's the AAUI (Apple Attachment Unit
Interface) connector.

  Also I wasn't thinging of the cost angle.
 Oh, Apple!  Yeah that costs.
