Ok, whipping out my "3Com buyers guide"
For Coax network, you would need:
 1 set of "Thin Ethernet terminator kit (2-ohm 50 BNC terminators) - 3C535"
 2 pieces of "Thin Ethernet T connector, BNC - 3C539"
 1 of "Coax cable; BNC to BNC, 8 m (25 feet) - 3C63911"
This allows the computers to be placed up to 25 feet apart. Please contact 
3Com for longer cables.
