[rescue] 10base2 Cable

[Alexander Jacocks]

DECstations have AUI connectors. See this document (page 1-8, or #33):
https://manx-docs.org/collections/mds-199909/cd2/decsta/pm38cmg2.pdf

You can use an AUI-to-RJ45 transceiver, like this:

So, to sum up, please, please don't use 10base2. It is the spawn of the
devil. I had to support it professionally in a couple of different places,
and it's utter hell.
