The ThinWire "aggregator" was the DEMPR. It was a multiport repeater.
Basically 8 ThinWire ports out the front and an AUI out the back
so you could connect it to the backbone.
The DEREP was the original ethernet repeater. It joined two lengths of
cable (using a repeater) to make a longer length.
UNA was the abbreviation for a DECnet circuit over the DELUA (UNIBUS
ethernet adapter card).
The DEQRA was the Qbus Token Ring adapter.
The DEFQA was the Qbus FDDI adapter (nope, no idea why they made that
one :-)).
You missed out the DEREN which was the correct answer to 'what shall I use
as a repeater device on the other end of my DEREP'
