Ray asks about connected HP's that have 10Base2 to a 10BaseT network:

Your idea to use both ports on a network interface card (NIC) inside a
computer will probably NOT work. I haven't seen a NIC yet that allows
more than one port active (you get either 10Base2 or 10BaseT, but not
both at the same time).

What you want is called a converter. I know of two companies that supply
these, and there are undoubtedly more. I have no experience with converters,
but I plan on purchasing some soon.
