Hello! Great question. Let's see, it's more of a hardware issue here, as the software issue seems to be working after a fashion. And in fact Dave S I just ran your idea as a search term via our friend Google, lot's of hits, but plenty of misses based pricing. Basically Bill it is indeed a hardware connection issue, to accomplish the functions of a 10base2 to 10baseT adapter. The software running on the computer is regular stock stuff from the project page. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Can you clarify...do you need the correct connector or is this a software issue? I have bins of related hardware. Bill

Hello! Since this evening was a "slow day for work" I decided to see if I could get that thing to talk to my Linux system running LAT 1.25 (from the Linux-DECNET series) via a 10BASE-T Hub that Jeff J had for sale at one of the earlier shows. Suffice to say using various incantions of tcpdump I can see the service at work and the terminal server attempting to connect. However..... that's as far as it gets.
The problem is that this terminal server wears a COAX connector, and the only thing I have here (now) is that hub. Does anyone on the list have a suggestion for properly translating one format of Ethernet (COAX) to 10BBASE-T other than a Hub of unknown pedigree? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
