Ummm... there wasn't a T-connector before? You shouldn't plug any lan
segment directly into a BNC connector on a hub/DTC/whatever, you always
use T-connectors on every device, interconnecting the segments, and
putting a terminator on the other side of the Ts at the ends.
It also sounds like you may be close to 10Base2 limits, I counted four
repeaters in your description (one DTC16-to-fiber, fiber-to-MILAN,
MILAN-to-fiber hub, fiber-hub-to-???).
