What sort of size? They might just be terminal connectors, or they could be
transceivers of some description.

That sounds like it might be a Ethernet card - if it's a DB15 (not DB15HD,
just plain low-density) female connector (sometimes with a frame around it),
that'd be an AUI (external transceiver - intended for Thick Ethernet (DIX)
at the time it was designed, now used for fibre and RJ45 transceivers too -
sometimes wireless as well) port, and would make it Ethernet.

Depending on the rest of the hardware. If it's all Ethernet, it might work.
Mixing ARCnet/Token Ring/Ethernet/ATM/FDDI/whatever without the proper
converters would lead to some... interesting... experiences.

Better idea, stick the FCC IDs into the search engine at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ and see what happens.

That didn't turn up anything in the FCC database. AO9 is definately DEC's
code, as confirmed by the search and by my hardware here, but DE203 doesn't
appear to reveal anything.
