You need a 10baseT transceiver, which I think are fairly inexpensive
(like around $15). The interface on the 2501 is an AUI (Attachment Unit
Interface). To this you can connect whichever transceiver suits your
needs. If you have a 10base2 network, the transceiver will have a coax
connector. In the case of 10baseT it will have an RJ-45 jack.
And yes, they still ship with these interfaces.

I am new to Cisco hardware so this may seem an a dumb question. I found
a
2501 router at work. The Eth0 int is a DB-15 interface. I looked at
Cisco's
site and the instrucitons showed how to connect it to a 10base2
network
only, using a transceiver. What cable/part do I need to connect to a
regular
Cat 5 network? Our production router is a 4700 with regular ethernet
ports,
like every other modern router or network device so I am confused by
this
interface.
Also, do they still ship new 2500 series routers with this arcane
interface?
thanks
