Terry -
 
It will work, but there are a few things to watch out for.
 
 
0) It would be better to get a real tranciever than just a media converter
(IMHO).
 
1) If this is a DTC-48, you must pull out the lan card on the back and
change a jumper for the DTC to look at AUI vs. the BNC connector.  WAIT,
DON'T PULL TOO HARD, you must FIRST disconnect the ribbon wire on the
front that goes to the little display.
 
2) In connecting the DTC-48, YOU MUST enable SQE or "heart beat" on the
converter [transceiver], or your HP DTC manager workstation will go crazy
and possiblly prevent other DTC's from downloading.  If you are not using
DTC manager, I guess the same will apply about the SQE, but I don't know
what will happen.
 
If this is not a DTC-48, I would think similar things must apply, but I
don't have the expierence.
 
Hope this helps
