Your SPARC station is probably using a network tranciever on an
AUI (I think it is) port?  If you use a tranciver, you could buy
a 10baseT one to connect to your LAN directly.  If you need info
on how to buy one, I know one you can mail order for around $40
US dollars.

Coax links connecting to 10baseT hubs is, to quote the manual,
"not recommended".
