Poor me, the local Ethernet is thick but I only have this here
BNC connector on the NeXT.  I'm about to order $865 worth of
repeater from Cabletron to repair this sad condition.  Has any
brilliant or lucky soul found a better way??  I hasten to add
that any scheme which simply splices the two sizes of cable
together will be rejected out of hand.

The other (minor) problem is to figure out which other vendors'
toner cartridges are usable in the laser printer.  I suspect
that some are compatible but I worry about doing some harm in
carrying out the obvious tests.  Who has been more brave than I?
