Ah, but just think about the _nostalgia_ of having something or other, even
if it is a low-end system, communicating with the world on thick net. Then
you could say you have all of the major star topologies in your
place. Well, maybe not all of them.

Honestly, I think it'd be tons of fun to run 10bT, 10b2, 10b5, Token ring,
FDDI, LocalTalk, and a whole bunch of other network topologies in my
apartment. Kindof a collection of the networking history as well as
computer history.

I'd be most interested in more info about 10b5 usage.
