Richard Nichols asked about a 'null transceiver' to connect two PCs
without multiple transceivers and ethernet cable.  So far all responses 
have recommended fanout boxes - an active device.  There is an alternative;
ANC, now a Division of Niravoice, Inc. makes the ANC-10.  Their description
follows:
		Ethernet AUI-AUI Direct Connection Device
		Direct connection of  two Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 nodes up
		to 100 meters or 330 ft. without using transceivers
		and Ethernet coaxial cable.

		list price:  $180.00

We've throughly tested this device and both sides fully meet the 802.3
specs for tranceivers.  You can get about 30% off of list.  ANC's
address is:

	ANC Division of Niravoice, Inc.
	103 East Alma Avenue
	San Jose, CA  95112
	(408) 947-2040  FAX:  (408) 947-1343

Good luck!
