Didn't even know they existed! I've seen AUI to 10baseT/10base2 and other
"adapters" but never seen a parallel to BNC. That would work too since the
printer(s) will go on the server and this leaves all the workstation's
parallel ports open, not to mention (as you say) I needn't worry what machine
they go on.

Any idea who might have some, especially at that price?
