I have to agree.  I had to troubleshoot a problem where a length of 75 ohm
cable was used to connect a new machine in my lab.  There were 3 machines
in a row on a bench.  2 and 3 could talk to each other, but not to
anything else on the network, and 1 could talk to the rest of the network
and 3, but not 2.  We wasted a LOT of time trying to figure this one out.

It's not worth the hassle for the small amount of money you'll save.  Coax
is a pain to run in general, use Cat5 10 or 100 base T.
