It's funny that we should be typing of all this as I am going through my
things and found a few gems: a pair of ethernet (not Thinnet, but
N-connector type ethernet) terminators, some vampire taps along with
transcievers, and of course the requisite installation tools.... (does
anyone remember that in the old days of networking you measured twice and
tapped once?)
Oh yeah, I also came across a 25 ohm terminator too... which was useful
for single machines, saved a T and all that
-j.
