@toddlowehk @rbbayliss@trumanboyes Switching, bah! Our 230.4kbps physical layer didn't need no switching, mate! Click those RJ-11s into the transceivers and it was almost faster than you could read. CSMA-CA FTW - why just detect collisions when you can avoid them?
@NLNils Oh yeah - NetWare/IP with DNS.NLM! Those were the days, it would sometimes even talk to our Slackware BIND. Not usually though, and I knew it was my fault.
Big ask. I am 62 this weekend, so will probably die soon, or get alzheimers or be rendered insane. I would love my 5 mins of fame while I can appreciate it all, please retweet, I would love to go global.. just once, one last chance to prove I existed xxx
