I seem to remember early Ethernet interface VAX quad cards
being around 1.5Mbps... not sure if it was think ether, vampire
tap stuff... This would have been before ethernet was turned
into a 'standard.' One guy I know has one of these hanging
from his wall along with some physical core for a PDP 11/44. I
was too young to have used to implemented this stuff, so I
can't claim to have actually _used_ such hardware.

Sorry, but this seems crazy to me. Was Ethernet invented in 1973? Was it
10MBps then?
