Many thanks, now I have an idea what to google for :-) Nice to hear there are converters. Just look for AUI coneverters and you should find them. And I think I made a mistake, there should even be RJ45 converters. Christian The correct name for what you are looking for is an AUI Ethernet transceiver. Googling for those words will help narrow it down a bit :) HTH, -- Jason Santos signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Sun Microsystems machines use RISC processors, and we're alive and well here in Gentoo/SPARC land :) On Mon, 27 Oct 2003 20:15:01 +0100 Wojciech Potentas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hej fellows!
