Robert,
If you have a thinet/cheaper connection via say a hub with thin-net and
10BaseT to your network that's just fine. The AUI port won't go any faster.
If you don't then I have one of these on my VAX3100
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152740485013
(well I am pretty sure its one of those. I am in Spain at present and can't
check) which just goes straight into a normal switch/hub..
