Through the network!

If I remember well, the VLC only offers a DB15 female AUI network
connector (no Thin ethernet option). You'll need to get a tranceiver
to put the machine on the network.

Something like Allied Telesyn CentreCOM AT-210TS to connect to a
10baseT network or AT-MX10S to connect to 10base2.

Available almost every where.
