My friend (another Dave) and I, when he was about 21 and I was maybe 17,
used to joke about selling organs to buy DEUNA cards for our PDP-11s, and run
coax down the highway (Route 95). We lived about 20mi apart, me in NJ and he
in PA. We joked about a telco truck pulling over, one guy picking up the
cable, and saying to his work partner, "Hey Bob? This ours?"
How expensive was a DEUNA? ;)
This was the mid-1980s. They were...expensive.

So how do I get there via that little BNC connector? :)
Really big spool of RG-58. If you ask the UPS guy nicely,
I'm sure he'd let you hold one end of the cable while he
drives over... just make sure you do surface shipping.
