If you have trouble finding an AUI cable (they can be very expensive),
your easiest bet would be to get a transceiver (AUI->10baseT) from one
of the used computer stores around town (or even a new one from say
Anixter). I have a couple AUI->10base2(BNC) transceivers that I could
loan you to test things out if you're really in a pinch, presuming you
have some sort of BNC connector on your hub.
