I just tried to put an ethernet cable into one of the ports - it's too big! These are phone type connectors! What's that all about? :-)

I don't know what it is called but I ran across some cable that I thought
was 8 wire Ethernet, but instead had a smaller connector that had only Six
wires in the connector, but was a bit bigger than the 4 wire phone line
connector, Is this the RJ-11?
So, it's most probably RJ11. An internal modem, perhaps? Steff
Yup, its RJ11, but I don't think it's a modem. On closer inspection it has a ROM with a white label that says:
SSI NB256 V1.0 00 40 10-0 22 97 D
I think the second line looks like a MAC address, which makes it some kind of LAN interface. Also there is a patent # which seems to be in that area of tech. The PCB says Tut NuBus Assy #20194, so I think its by:
TUT SYSTEMS INC.
http://www.tutsystems.com./
but I don't see any older products support. That always disappoints.
Is this what you call "phone net" ?
No, 'Phone Net' plugs into the Printer port, and uses regular phone line
to connect to each computer. Not Super Fast, but it works.
