The best way is to get a Thinnet (aka 10base-2 or BNC) transceiver for the
Quadra, a length of thinnet cable, a T-piece and a terminator. Plug the
cable directly into the Apple transceiver. Put the T-piece on the PC card,
plug the cable into one arm of the T and the terminator into the other. The
Apple transceiver is self-terminating, so you don't need a terminator at
that end.

For RJ-45 you'd need a hub. Thicknet (AUI) is not suitable.

(I've had a small thinnet network for a year or two around my one-room
office. I've recently added a 10base-T (RJ45) hub to carry the signal over
the rest of the house when that's needed. Thinnet is really not much harder
to set up that LocalTalk.)
