If you buy Greenpar parts, then the (old) number is either 350NNNN for 50 ohm or 375NNNN for 75 ohm parts. (the new numbers are B35 NNN... and B37 NNN...). (of course you should also make sure that you use 50-ohm cable but that's another story completely!) /* End of text from WL14:comp.dcom.lans */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Hill, Prime Computer R&D, Willen Lake, Milton Keynes, MK15 0DB, UK.
