It doesn't work but it doesn't do any harm :-) On another occasion, I
tried the converse: RJ45 patch from hub to transceiver, and 10base2 coax on
the other side. To no-one's surprise, it don't work either. To redeem my
reputation (if I ever had one) I should point out that the only reason I
tried it was that the unit I had wasn't labelled and no-one knew what it
was at the time.
