All you need are 3 ethernet cards (thin-net), terminators and some cabling.
The buy IBM's tcpip software.  That would give you NFS for the file sharing,
TCPIP services such as mail, telnet, remote printing and news.  The print
server could be a Unix host if you wanted.  The cost would a lot less than
getting a 10-baseT hub (which I'm kinda confused as to why you would need
one....)
