The hardware consists of a 286-based PC, a V32bis/V.42bis modem with an on-board fax modem, and an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that supports either Thicknet or
Thinnet interfaces.
The LAN interface consists of a 10MB/sec Ethernet port utilizing an RJ-45 for 10BaseT and
ThinNet port connecting direct to the LAN." Users with a 100BaseT environment optionally can select two 10/100 Mbps interface connections.
The unit is about the size of a modem and includes ports for both 10BASE T (twisted pair) and 10BASE 2 (
thinnet) Ethernet connections.
