Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
And that one, that DESTA device, is what I have here. Which is why I
started this thread. By the way, der Mouse, do you have anything
resembling documentation on it?=20

It seems that even though I know enough about Ethernet, and something
about the AUI concept, courtesy the book by Spurgeon on the Ethernet
concepts, that's the one bit of documentation I don't have. As for
cables, if you don't need them, I would also be glad to take them off
your hands. We've got a project starting in about a week, that's based
on the AUI, and we've only got two of them. We need about six. (Those
AUI devices by the way, aren't from DEC, they're from another
company.)
