[comp.dcom.lans] Need Transceivers for 75 ohm Ethernet

stevel@dartvax.UUCP (Steve Ligett) (12/29/86)

We are planing to run a 10Mb baseband network ("Ethernet")
over 75 ohm coax.  I'd rather buy or modify commercial
transceivers than brew some up.

Insert standard questions - Has this been done? Do you have any
enperience? What manufacturers? Any ideas?

If you'd like a longer explanation, drop me a line.  Or call
me (603) 646-3189.

Many thanks.

We have used some transceivers from TCL in San Jose that they modified for us
to work on 75 ohm coax.  We're using it more in a point-to-point fashion to
connect two nodes rather than a multidrop bus like standard Ethernet, but it
seems to work fine.
