I'm looking for a source that provides 10Base-T (twisted-pair) ethernet to thin ethernet "converters". I have an 030 NeXT cube which has a thin-ethernet connector and need to connect it to a network using twisted-pair cabling. (Note: I know that the 040 uses 10Base-T connectors, but don't expect to upgrade to it in a very long time.) /* ** ============================================================================ ** ** Felix A.

We have about every variety of ethernet cabling there is
(thick, thin, twisted pair). We've had good results with
the appropriate Cabletron transceivers. There are quite
a few people in that market I believe.
Disclaimer: no connection, not even as a customer, with
Cabletron. The firm supplies 'em, I use 'em, no complaints.

There are quite a few 10Base-T to thin ethernet repeaters on the market. They cost in the neighborhood of $550.00. They are, after all, repeaters which sort of explains the price. >** Felix A. Lugo AT&T Bell Laboratories We happen to use AT&T's 10Base-T to thin ethernet repeaters on our 10Base-T netowrk. They work just fine. louie
