I am not sure why classic networking stuff tends to be
shunned like a
rabid dog. Stuff from the 1970s is quite rare, but 1980s era stuff (CSUs,
switches, etc.) tends to be around, and now quite available, now that T1s
are becoming turtle highways. How about running a T1 line between the
house and garage? With appropriate routing, its performance can be quite
suprising.
Does anyone on this list have any classic networking stuff beyond
ethernet/token thing cards?
I'm not sure anything beyond ethernet would strictly be considered
'classic', but I have a set of DS5000/200s connected via FDDI.
