Re: Hmmmm......

I worked for an outfit that was deploying thinnet in the early 90s. It had all kinds of weak points. The off-the-shelf BNC "T" connectors used at each NIC led to lots of inadvertent disconnections. You didn't need a cut, a good tight kink in the coax was enough to compromise the transmission line. But it did save a bundle on hubs and star wiring installation costs.
