Regarding 10base2 failures....
I'd like to mention that I've had 10base2 throughout my apartment
for some 10+ years now, and never had a failure of the physical
network. I've had one or two transceivers fail, but that was it.
Even at work, I'm using the same 10base2 cabling I've used since
about the 1980 time-frame when I was working on network
device drivers for RT-11.
