Re: D-Link finally ships the DXN-221 Coax Ethernet adapter

Is anyone else struck by the irony of this?
We started out with 10Base2 aka thin Ethernet running over .... yep that's
right, coaxial cable. Oh the joys of trying to locate shorts, bad contacts
and missing terminators.
Then we moved to 10BaseT and enjoyed the benefits of Cat5. No taking the
whole segment down to add a new device. Point to point connections.
Switches with no collisions! Oh the rapture.
And now we've come full circle to start sending ethernet over coax again
and paying £150 for doing it.
Oh the irony :-)
