I'll bet I know-- My MAD-1 (nee TELEX 1186) had a card with such 
a BNC connector.

It was used for connectivity with IBM mainframes (3720 Emulation?), and 
pretty much useless for anything else.

 Speaking of TELEX, they once had the tan-colored 286
boxes, pretty 
small, with only a 3.5" fdd and a hardcard. They had a BNC connector 
emanating from the motherboard. Does anyone know what that was for? If 
it's a network card, does anyone know about drivers?

 I once had one of these nasty little beasties.  In
fact, it was
a rare version that was badged for TELEX/Memorex.  It used an
80186 CPU-- It was fast, at least to me, anyway (although
I don't recall the clock speed).
