Do they provide a soap-on-a-rope for both 10BaseT and 10Base2? The oem IBM
Ethernet card I have will take both as well, but the adaptors are expensive.
Also, 10BaseT supports full-duplex communications since, unlike 10Base2, it
has seperate transmit and receive lines. I've heard that someone _has_
built a PCMCIA adaptor that does full duplex, but I didn't catch the
manufacturer.
...now if only PC's would stop using 16-bit Ethernet transport!!
