Nate -

My search did not come up with any where as many hits.. and the sites that I 
visited were online forums where users were telling the person to find a balun 
(like you suggested) or just to get hub with a BNC connection.

The sites that listed the need balun.. either showed the item as out of stock 
..or were out side of the USA.

Anybody here have a small used hub that happens to have a BNC uplink port??  
Maybe as a loaner until I am able to get my cabling updated??

  Hi David.

  The key item to look for is a balun which is a transformer from BALanced
  to UNbalanced line, i.e. unshielded twisted pair (cat5 == balanced) to
  coax (unbalanced).  A quick Google search on 10baset 10base2 balun
  returned about 250 hits.  The first couple of results were dealers.

  Good luck.
