What about a provision for coax network connection?

We have a 486 with RH 6.0 on it, and the sound card connection for the
CD doesn't seem to work, so any installations are via the LAN, but the
network card is coax socket only. From what I understand, VESA
soundcards, with connections for CD's, are expensive, if and when they
are available...
