Token ring? topic hijack: was Re: Mystery open source switching

Just in case it isn't clear, I use all of my ancient computing and
network technology by a *very* deliberate choice. Just take the case of
the hardware gadget I've designed and built myself that goes from
SDSL/ATM to V.35-nee-EIA-530: I've only built and deployed it in the
summer of this year, although I had wanted one since late 2004 and had
been developing it as a hobby open source hardware project since 2006.

I wasn't trying to imply anything with my comment, it was meant as a cheap
joke. I apologize if I gave that impression. I am still very young and
have never heard of most of these, other than atm and x.25... Old hardware
really interests me as I still have my first computer (laptop with slide out
trackball, external scsi cd-rom, and 10base2 networking.)
Anyway back to lurking for me.

I think I still have an old COSMAC ELF out in the garage. However, it's
networking capabilities are severely limited.

Kinda makes me miss the old 6544 cluster controller that I turned into a kegerator/end table/lamp.. :wink:

I know of a DEC PDP-11 and a Wellfleet BCN that met a similar end :slight_smile:
