There was at least one vendor (Artisoft, I think) that terminated

The /coax/ was terminated in a 15-pin AUI connector?
Or the machine facing connector on the tap was 15-pin AUI?
No, the AUI was the standard DA-15 to the 10Base5 transceiver; forgive
my clumsy response.
Yes, I know that's obvious, but there are probably few who remember the
agony of thicknet.
Agony? Considering the alternatives to compare it to at the time
not really much agony.
