Re: [Plug] network kits


Even a pci RealTek chipset card is >$30.00 and comes with a tee and terminator.
all you nned is a hunk of coax.  If you want to use the rj45 (10BASE-T)
connector you can still get away without using a hub if you get a cross
over cable.  Regular cables are wired 1+2 on one end to 1+2 on the other and
3+6 on one end to 3+6 on the other with the + pairs twisted around each other.
A crossover cable is 1+2 to 3+6 and 3+6 to the 1+2 pair.  In other words...
