I'm not sure anything beyond ethernet would
strictly be considered
'classic',
There are lots of old networking standards from the years prior to 1988
(or even 1978), for both LANs and WANs. You have 56K, T1 (fractional or
whole), V.35, ARCnet, token thing, FDDI...
but I have a set of DS5000/200s connected via FDDI.
FDDI, the _real_ networking standard!
I will run a few FDDI lines between the house and garage some day, but I
will have to bury a conduit first to encase them. With approriate
routing cards, I may be able to get 3 lines between the RS/6000s on either
end, but that might be stretching it. Two is quite possible. Anyway, that
would be one helluva pipe!
