"The LAN interface includes both 10BaseT and 10Base2 connectors."

So an off-the-shelf Ethernet switch will do. Contemporary 10GBase-T products are generally compatible with ancient 10Base-T. Another fine example of extreme backwards compatibility.




I got one of these bad boys onto the University of Washington CS lab network once: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_UNIX_PC

It didn't have DHCP, so I had to configure my laptop with its MAC address, acquire an IP, and then quickly move the cable to the UNIX PC. It didn't have DNS, so I had to manually find the IP of the CS webserver. And it obviously didn't have an HTTP client, so I had to use telnet. But it worked just fine!
