I'm at a loss to understand how Bryan does it.  Especially a terminal model that has only a serial port connected directly to a 10baseT port in the second sentence.

We have successfully run terminals over 10baseT cable in a number of
our plants.  Just connect the terminal to your 10baseT port and then
run a patch cable from the punch down panel to the dtc.  Works with no
effort.  Of course distance limitations still apply and your network
configuration may be more complex so YMMV.

Our network setup is very simple.  Our 2 HP3K's are connected to a coax
backbone along with our router, a hub or two, and maybe a couple of
JetDirect boxes.  We then run 10baseT from a punch down panel to all
our network stations.  A patch cable connects the various ports on the
punch down panel to either a hub or a dtc depending on what's on the
other side.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
