You still use that junk? I figured 2 things when answeing this question: He isnt going to want to buy a bunch of obsolete junk to make that work, and he is probably talking about RG6. However - good point techie.
I support a small network that has a run of thicknet out to a remote communications shelter to support a pc and a multiport terminal server used to interface to a antenna positioning system.
The distance is too far for twisted-pair, and thicknet cable was readily available, as were 10mb hubs and utp-to-coax media converters. The required bandwidth is low.
Around here, getting your hands on obsolete 10mb hardware is easy.. you just take a run down to Weird Stuff, or any of the other surplus places in the valley.
