For a PDP-8, baud rate is important, too! I have used (and continue to use) a lot of those AUI-TP adapters, and they all seemed to be plug-and-play. I've also used old network hubs with BNC connectors to do thinnet networks - necessary for some of my machines. Oh, ISTR that a lot of VAXstations did have a button near the AUI and BNC connectors asking you to choose. Choose wisely, Grasshopper, and you shall be rewarded with packet traffic.
