Correct as necessary.
I know a few things about networking, and that's the
problem, I'm a dozen or so facts short.
I Have learned to network RJ45/10baseT through
?active? hubs and DEC-AUI through DELNI hubs, etc.
So far so, uh, ? good..

But I was looking at some DEC branded
BNC-coax/?ThinNet?/10base2 cables and it dawned on
me that this connection method looks hubless, with all the
tee connectors hanging around. Could this be right?
10b2 ?passive? hubs are just tee connectors?

Sorry for the IQ level of this question but I don't want to blow
up my workstations, even if they were free.
