Hello folks,
A random conversation on twitter yesterday lead me to discovering an old 1980s
LAN technology called INFAPLUG. This was a serial LAN hooked up via a PC serial
port at 9600 baud to a ’smart plug’ the size of a wall wart. This plug
contained all the smarts and hooked into the coax

It works fine on MacOS, except for various garbage ports from
I just wanted to say thank you for sending us the link, they are great

The first is at the electrical layer: USB only has 5V available and
