Connecting AUI Forte's

Connect them using shielded coaxial cables and capacitors.

IP Networking

Set up IP networking between the machines so they should be able to ping each other. If you are emulating full duplex card using half duplex reduction, read how to emulate full duplex card on IP level.

ronjaping

If you have Linux where C programs can be compiled on one PC, then perform the ronjaping variant.

ping

Otherwise perform the ping variant.

Evaluation

BER should be under 10^-9. If it's worse, then something is wrong with the electronics.
