Thanks for the correction. I think I've heard "DEQNA" in recent years and
it
was supplanting the memory of "DELNI", which I haven't heard in years.
I well remember linking VAXes together and
fighting with 2-metre loops of
thick-wire ethernet while banging those damned metal brick transceivers around,
until DEC saved us all with that first 8-port ethernet 'hub' (although the
transceiver cables were still a pain). (Am I correct in recalling it was called
the DEQNA?).
DEQNA = Q-bus Ethernet (M7504), replaced by DELQA (M7516) and DESQA (M3127)
Maybe you meant DELNI = Digital Ethernet Local Network Interconnect,
which had 8 local AUI ports.
