Get the 10bT + 10b2.
To hook up 10bT for three machines you will need a hub ( not very expensive,
but still extra ).
By getting dual parts you can start with 10b2, and if you need to go to 10bT
you can later.
Setting up a 10b2 network is very easy. you get two lengths of coax cable
( our local electronics store still sells a full range of coax parts ),
three t junctions ( one for each machine ) and two terminators.
Put a T junction on each machines 10b2 port and run a piece of coax between
each pair ( dont make a loop ) and then put a terminator at each end of the
network.

Hopefully that comes out ok.
If you need more machines, or faster networking you can go to 10bT, and get
a switched hub.
