- All you need are 3 ethernet cards (thin-net), terminators and some cabling.
- The buy IBM's tcpip software. That would give you NFS for the file sharing,
- TCPIP services such as mail, telnet, remote printing and news. The print
- server could be a Unix host if you wanted. The cost would a lot less than
- getting a 10-baseT hub (which I'm kinda confused as to why you would need
- one....)
