RE: System Terminal

I'm guessing this 'loon box' is what I've been calling the 'port connector'.
I remember the ethernet cable, coming from the model 500, was plugged into
one of the terminals with one of those big connectors with the two pins in
it (this is one of those things easier to look at then explain). Then
another connector was used for the terminal. Anyway, the connector needed
for the ethernet cable to connect to the loon box (port connector) is gone,
it left with another company on a different machine. Any other way to do
this?
