I miss DECUS, too. Not only do I not miss DELNIs, I don’t miss any of the trappings of coaxial-based ethernet, including, but not limited to: AUI cables AUIs Vampire taps BNC T-Connectors BNC Terminators SO-239/PL-259 terminators TDRs that cost $10k+ Co-ax pinning Thin-net cables getting cut by furniture legs Following a long poorly documented thickness cable looking for the shorted vampire tap Does anyone miss any of these things? Twisted pair ethernet was probably the best thing to come to networking since TCP/IP. Owen
