g.
But does anyone out there use Thicknet at home? I have one vampire tap
transceiver (and a bunch of 10Base2). I would love to set up a segment
of 10Base5 just for the historical sake of it all. I suppose I would
need at least one more 10Base5 transceiver to make it worthwhile.
Yes, I use it to connect a number of my old SGI and DEC
machines. I run it to a DELNI so I don't need to do cable
taps. Basically this solves the problem of trying to
find transceivers for all the old machines.
