Yep, that's what they say.  I've never used coax before, but they say you
just hook all your computers together in a sort of "line" and just make
sure you have a terminator (some kind of resistor, I believe) at both
ends.  Probably there's a limit to how many machines you can hook
together, but I'd guess at least several (maybe up to 10?) should
certainly work.  No need for a hub or other intermediary device between
them.
