Honestly! He should get a hub and pull multiple runs of CAT5. If going outside, use PVC electrical conduit. It's cheap stuff and will protect the cables for years and years. > If the wire is already in place and can be dragged through the wall it > would provide a great wire pull for some CAT-5.

It's probably also stapled to the studs inside the wall! If he really wants to use 10-BASE-2, then he wants RG58 (50ohm COAX) with BNC connectors. Using existing 75ohm coax as if it was 50ohm coax (with F to BNC adapters) is asking for trouble. - Dan
