You've got to be pulling my chain... (Ethernet)

       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.
