[comp.dcom.lans] Need information on 10baseT networking.

I need some basic information on 10baseT networking.  I understand
IEEE 802.3 on both thin and thick cable, but I'm not familiar with
ethernet over twisted pair or starlan type networks.

How does it work basically?  Some sort of HUB system like starlan?
Can I connect two machines directly together without a HUB?

Any answers or references to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
