I have successfully networked two PCs using Windows 3.11 and two
ethernet cards. My cards only had BNC connectors. I presume the 15 pin
connectors allow you to connect an external driver for use with
optical fibre rather than coax.

Be warned not to try this if you only have 4Meg of RAM the machine
will grind to a halt. 8 Meg is a minimum for networking.

It is incredible how easily it all works. At least Microsoft has got
something right!
