[net.lan] Connecting Ethernet to IBM cabling system

newbery@vuwcomp.UUCP (Michael Newbery) (10/06/86)

Does anyone know if/how to run an Ethernet over the IBM cabling system?
We have a standard yellow, DEC, Ethernet cable which we would like to extend
300m or so. The IBM cabling system cable would be much cheaper (for the
cable at least)if we could get away with it.
The system at the other end is also std. cable, so what would we need in the
way of connectors etc.?

If replying via uucp email, please *do not* use the "Path:" line above.  Our
news goes out via Australia (much cheaper), but we would like uucp email
replies via the path below.
