Phone Net connectors. Try the Low End Mac swap list, flea bay, and Craig's list. The brand we used to use was called FastNet, made in Taiwan. Farralon was another major supplier. The phone net system had the advantage of using cheap telephone wire and running up to 32 Apple Talk using devices to 3,000' total network. The drawback is it was slow. They used to advertise a top speed of 2.0 mbps, but realistic speeds were around 2-300 kbps.At my place of employment, I have an AIO connected to a Apple LaserWriter IINTX. The printer is hooked up to the computer by using connectors that hook into the printer ports, which are then connected using a common phone wire. The connectors that I have allow for the connection of two phone lines. What is the correct name for these connectors? Is it still possible to purchase these? Where?
Used to be you could find these at any computer shop catering to Apple users. I haven't seen any on a shelf for a long time. A quick Google search for "phonenet connectors" only turns up flea bay listings and old articles.
Good luck,
