Some of us probably worked with this stuff back in the
days when it
was new (1983-1989 in my case). "Fun" is not the adjective that comes
to my mind.
Yep.
How about running a T1 line between the
house and garage? With appropriate routing, its performance can be quite
suprising.
Can you do this over dry copper, for short runs? If so, would you want to? You mentioned in another
post that you'd
have to run conduit for FDDI, and that makes me think there might be
some open space between hither and yon. Sure, you could run copper,
but wouldn't electrical potential differences be a problem?
Shouldn't be. But you can find NIUs (or rip them out of the phone room of
your office building when no one's looking) that would provide the proper
conditioning and balance.
