Well, I'm not cleaning this floor every few minutes to manage the
electron spill, so I'd better get the terminator. I don't think my
mop can handle electrons, anyway....

I found a place that sells 50ohm BNC -> 10baseT adapters online,
but I do have one last question. Do i *need* a cable connecting the
T to the BNC? I'm sure this is probably desirable, but is it
absolutely necessary? I'm just trying to minimize the connections.

Also, is the cable that I need a patch cable? I'm assuming yes.

Thanks for all the tips, guys. I really appreciate this.
