Cabletron sells a line powered, wall box mounting tp to thinnet adapter that looks very nice. I have no experience with it.

synoptics has one also. I'm the hostmaster for SynOptics.com and use several of them for my DECstation 5100's, which only came with thinwire.

Hmm, now I could be wrong, but it's my impression that any device with
10Base-T on one side and 10Base-2 on the other must be a repeater, no
matter how small a box it's in. As such, people installing them
should be aware that they impose a repeater's worth of delay,
bit-regeneration, etc. I think calling it a "converter" or anything
other than a repeater is very misleading, since the unwary may think
it's just a balun or something.

This sounds like something we could use, and I'd like to check this out. Hewlett Packard has a low cost 12 TP port repeater with an AUI port and a 10Base2 port.
