I still have a 10Base2 segment at home, though it connects to the 10BaseT
hub, which in turn is plugged into the 100BaseT switch, which goes to the
100BaseT hub......

Currently my only uses for 10Base2 is my one DECserver 90L+, PowerBook 540c
(which when I find a cheap 10BaseT transciever for will be switched) and my
Amiga 3000 (currently in storage, but hope to move to my new Apartment one of
these days). Until I moved recently the PDP-11/73 had also been on 10Base2.

Do I have a point? I guess my point is I'm trying to get off 10Base2, why
would I want 10Base5 :^) I'd much rather have another 10/100 Switch than
any 10Base5 stuff!
