It seems this may be able to be done. Do a search for "Ethernet AUI Sniffer". What that amounts to is disabling the transmit portion of an AUI port. Sounds like you'll need a transceiver to convert from ethernet to aui though. Good luck. Jeff.
I think that's what the pin 1&2 loopbacks are for -- some equipment wants to see signals there in order to see the link as connected. In the AUI case, though, that gets done in the transceiver, and so the transmit connection on the AUI side can just be cut. David Gillett
