Why are new Suns thick Ethernet only

For everyone who's complaining about not being able to plug a new Sun into
a thinwire net, here are two options that we are using successfully:

1) I am writing this on a 386i (thickwire transceiver port only) which is
	connected to a thinwire net via a 3Com 3C100 transceiver and two
	BNC-female-to-N-male coax adapters (UG-201A/U, Amphenol 31-216).

2) We also are using several DESTAs from DEC that do the same thing without
	the adapters.
