Stick a 10 megabit hub between the two and use normal cables. Some of the old NICs for 68k Macs don't properly identify their capabilities and some of the newer 10/100 NICs, switches and hubs get all freaked out about it. Another solution, especially if you have a mix of 10 and 10/100 hardware, is to use a managed switch that allows per-port setting of speed and full or half duplex. AFAIK, all the 10megabit NICs for 68k Macs were half duplex. That could be the problem too, the iMac not automatically switching from full to half duplex. ===== Subatomic conspiracy group: The Free Mesons.
