Hello everyone, I am new to this group.  I have two questions to start
off on.

(I have a 320 or 330 I don't know which)

1. Is the ethernet BNC connector on the Sysetm Interface Board used
like any other ethernet BNC connector. (I mean do you need a T
connector and two terminators at either end of the line?  Call me OVER
Cautious but I just don't want to fry the board)

2. At the time being I can only bring up my box over a serial terminal
up to the point that it starts searching for a SYSTEM (because I
haven't configured a net-boot system yet) and I am getting TRASH from
the box (HYPER TERMINAL in Win98 and also a HP 700/41 Terminal).

Serial dump, I put what I thought should come up at the end (From Hyper
Terminal in Win98):
