Does anyone out there have any pointers to some hardware that lets me do to
broadband cable what Ethernet controllers let me to do base-band coaxial 
cable?  I need to throw datagrams onto a coaxial cable plant which runs all
around campus, and the Ethernet we use in our building just won't hack the
distance.  I'm going to use the coax to carry IP datagrams as part of our
campus network.

I've got some glossies on the Ungermann-Bass Net/1 hardware.. anyone have any
experience with their datagram access stuff?
