That's a special Apple ethernet connector, used also on Quadras, Powerbook
5xx's, and so on. It's called AAUI and you need an AAUI-10BaseT
tranceiver. The 'big phone jack' is also called RJ-45 or twisted pair
(twisted pair because there are 4 pairs of wires that, yup, are twisted
together--it reduces interference somehow (don't ask me how)).
I've got several I'm asking $12/each for (in a belated swap-day post).
Email off list if anyone's interested. . . .
