Here is the promised summary of thin-coax Ethernet transceiver
recommendations. It is short and simple. Cabletron seems to be the unit
of choice, they are obtainable for ~$150. Many thanks to those who

We have used mostly cabletron transceivers, ST-500 and TMS3. The first
comes with a head that can be replaced for thickwire, and is about $25
more than the second, which is smaller and has fewer leds. I have about
two dozen and have never had a problem with them.

We have 10-15 Cabletron BNC transceivers in our ceiling for 2-3 years and
we haven't had one fail yet (cross fingers).

We use Cabletron ST500 with LANview and have no complaints.

I use Cabletron ST500 transceivers. They ran less than $150.00, and are
tiny enough to fit in small places. Cabletron (408)986-0566
