TI-H: networking
OK, I happen to be a certified network guy. The cheapest way is to set up a
10base2 network. One t connector for each card, two terminators (1 for each
end) and a coax (RG-58) cable between the cables.
Then there is 10baseT. 10baseT cards can be found by the dozen. you can
hook up two computers with a cross over cable (pins 1 &3, and pins 2&6 are
switched, i.e. RX and TX) But you can buy a small hub pretty cheaply. A
while ago I bought a 4 port NetGear Hub for $35.
But nowadays I'm really gung ho. Working for a large corporation has it's
advantages (And I'm not talking about stealing.) They tend to be very
wasteful and have no problems giving their telecom data techs (me) old
equipment. So I got my self fiber optic cards, fiber patch cables (really
expensive) and a 12 port fiber hub. Everything runs at 100 MBPS (didn't
cost me a penny) and I can have as many electromagnets as I want in my room.
However this is not the norm and if it wasn't for the generosity of my work
I would be still using 10baseT
