I was told, what pieces of hardware do I need, but I don't have the names
here, sorry. As I understood it's gonna be connection thru single cable
with some communication cards, not Ethernet (connectors RG68?)

Thanks

When I done, I will tell you...
To say the truth I want to learn how to connect other computers to the
Unix (Linux) server. In my case the only computers I have are 486 and XT.
I have a proposal to install Linux in school, so I think I should know
more about this. not only the theory, but from implementing it too.
If you have any other ideas how to learn these things on my own ... Any
suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!
