10base-2 to 10base-t media convertor?

[Rod Smallwood]

Ooops missed out a step!
The cheap hub with the BNC is 10Mbit but its connected to another hub
that is a switch ie does both 10Mbits and 100Mbits. Now you can go from
BNC (Thin ethernet) at 10Mbs to UTP at 100Mbs

How common are 10/100BaseT Hubs with a BNC connection?  I know I've
never seen one.  Any hub I've seen with a BNC connection has been
limited to 10Mbit.

The original posters problem just happens to be half the reason I even
care about 10Base2, my Amiga 3000's NIC only has a BNC connection, I
also have this problem with my DECserver 90L+.  Though I'm not using
either at the moment.
