What do i do!???!!! Message-ID: <13437@dog.ee.lbl.gov> Date: 22 May 91 00:02:54 GMT Article-I.D.: dog.13437 References: <17132@chopin.udel.edu> Organization: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lines: 31 X-Local-Date: Tue, 21 May 91 17:02:54 PDT No sweat dude ! It's easy ! ((-: What you need is a TP-MAU (understand a twisted pair media access unit (understand a twisted pair transciever)). What it is, is a small box that has on one side a 10base-T connector and on the other side the usual db15 AUI connector (understand 'Thick Ethernet' connector). That's what your friend calls a 10Base-T to AUI adaptor, it's simple plug and go, since the Amiga Ethernet card has both a thin and a thick connectors. Or, you wait untill CBM offers a 10Base-T Ethernet card (should be around the same price as the current one). By the way Mr Commodore, will you eventually release such a card soon ???? Believe me, this is important ! 10Base-T is gonna be big RSN (it's allready in fact). As for the end of the message, you are not concerned, since you only want to connect one machine. The problem will eventually be with your roomates, and the number of machines per room you want to hook to the net. Hope you're living with, like philosopy majors ...
