I'm using a 10-base-T to Coax ethernet media converter made by "Transition
Networks". The specs say you can connect up to 24 coax devices to one
twisted pair connection. (My layout currently is just one HP340.) I have
not had any problems in two years of operation with it. Price is $129 from
Data Comm Warehouse, 1-800-328-2261.

Tranceivers are cheaper, but to use one you need what's called an AUI
connector at the computer. The BD version of the HP340 doesn't have one.
