To do that you'd need to look at the cable coming from the monitor (which 
you've not described at all!) - is it a standard VGA cable, or BNCs, in 
either case you shouldn't have problems using it as a monitor.
The one thing you /will/ have trouble with, though, is using it with a PC. 
Most monitors of this type are fixed-frequency, meaning that you can only use 
them at one frequency (obviously :-). In practice this limits you to one 
resolution, and at that, one that most graphics cards can't produce! :-)

Well, what network are you running? We at least need to know that!
In general, you can either buy a hub / concentrator with at least one 10Base2 
port and at least one 10BaseT port, or you could put two network cards in one 
machine - one 10Base2 and one 10BaseT, and get that machine to route between 
the two. Netware can do this; Linux can do this; WinNT can do this, etc...
If you want to get rid of it, though, I may be interested..
