Can you run this box from an ordinary network
connection ?

Absolutely *NOT* and damage will occur! (so says the
manual). The reason why they did it is so mugs like me
that want a longer cable will be able to easily make one.

What happens when your 'mate' plugs it into the network
card then ?

In fact, probably nothing, except that nothing functions properly. Usually
people building gear like this use the 100BTX voltage levels and impedances,
but do not use the same signals and protocols.
