They'll have to find or build a 3Mb/s Ethernet anyway. Ask around; maybe someone still has a 3Mb/s to 10Mb/s gateway. If they can get to 10Mb on coax, they can get an off the shelf box to go to 10baseT and to the modern world.

The Living Computer Museum is working on a 3Mb/s Ethernet gateway. I'm also looking into making one with a BeagleBone (which is why I've been looking at its PRU microcontrollers lately).
