Hi Bruce!
 BL>    And since I didn't see ANY 10base-2 "HUBS" advertised in the cats
 BL> I have, am I correct that I will NOT need a 'hub', but will simply
 BL> connect each computer to the next (in parallel) with the RG-Cable ?
 BL> (if there IS a long run later, I presume that a repeater can be used)
Correct.
 BL>    Also from what I've understood, all I need to do (basically) is
 BL> to assign one computer as "server" and the rest as clients, each
 BL> with a different 'user/host' name, correct ?
This depends on the software you use for your network.
The username can be the same, you can have multiple connections with one 
er.
 BL> that *2* machines - I would HAVE to run each one to a "HUB" (like the
 BL> spokes on a wheel) which handles the addressing and routing from/to
 BL> each machine (user).
 BL> Does that just about sum it up correctly ???
Yes. I'd recomend this solution. It's safer than coax.
 BL> And finally, is there going to be a device to allow me to attach my
 BL> centronics inkjet printer to this LAN with a unique username/number ?
 BL> Or should I just attach it to the main server parallel port and
 BL> send everything I want printed to the LPT1 port of that machine ??
Something like that.. this is all managed by your LAN software.
