Re: Hmmm ...
Ahh 10base2.
I remember working on a contract with a Digital DEC engineer in the early 90's, who showed me an amazing trick with 10base2.
He inserted a sewing needle into a 10base2 cable, pressed right into the cable.
Then using an old 286 laptop in the next room he connected some RF device in a rather home made looking black box to the parallel port. Apparently it was some kit they were using on this UK Government contract at the time in 1991.
He was able to listen into the network traffic on the 10base2 network, wirelessly !.
The first wireless network ?
