What sort of cable do these cards need? The same a TV uses by any chance?

Many thanks,

Win 95? You might as well commit suicide before you start.

And if you don't know that ethernet cards need Ethernet cables, not coax
cables, you should not even contemplate starting something like this.

You know too little about the subject to be giving advice.Ethernet can
run over thick co-ax, thin co-ax, double twisted pair (generally
RJ45/Cat5) single twisted pair, fibre optic, or RF - and even IR.

I have worked with all of the above over the last 20+ years. And win95
is a breeze compared to win 3.11 or DOS. Done both of them too.
