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.
