Have a look at Black Box Converter UTP/Coax (UTP=10BT) Product Code LL505
(here in France: costs around 790 FF=130 $US at the current exchange rate).
I have this installed, works perfectly ok.
Other companies might have cheaper offers...

Be careful to configure FACSNet also for the router (I suppose you have one
on the net), you need to add the routers adress in the to FACSnet's network
data base, #46:net.db (use the Editor of the HP operating system).

Add a line:

heha:1:1:[INET]->nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn::::::

where heha is the ethernet card , nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the routers internet
adress.

Cheers, Matthias
