Uh.... I think it's the definition of `10base5'. He's saying there are
~0 cards with thick-coax vampire taps built onto the card, as opposed
to using D/I/X v{1,2}transciever cables/802 AUI ports, connected to
10base5 transcievers.

Perhaps there were some oddball cards had direct N-series screw
connectors, but we'd all really be better off forgetting such things,
along with DIX-v1 vs -v2 problems.
