[SunHELP] Connect two Intel Solaris machine together.

[James Fogg]

You can connect hundreds of workstations with coax (thinnet or 10base2)
without any "hubs". Rules: no cable between the NIC cards and the T connectors,
no more than 600 feet of coax total, 1 terminator at each end of the bus,
attached at the last T connector.
