      Kingston makes a network card with a coax connector on it. Model KNE-PC2T/BT.

      Sure. I found a dealer that sells two brands of PCMCIA that connect to 10-Base2 (thinnet):

      Some 3Com PCMCIA NICs support 10BaseT as well as 10Base2 networks. The best ones I have worked with are the 3Com 589x series. 589B/589C/589D/589E, etc.

      Drivers are easily found and used.
      You may have to force the NIC at the hardware level using the install/setup commands at the DOS level…since I have found that NT sometimes defaults to 10BaseT.
