a 6+ port hub, with a BNC (coax) uplink port should do it.
JG> Or apparently a 'router'(?) can do the job.
JG> Which is better? What's a 'hub'?
JG> How do you hook them up?
a router can get expensive, but since a network running on cat 5 cables
requires a hub anyways, and many of them have BNC (coax) uplink ports,
it would probably be advisable to use a hub.
