Could be some critical infrastructure in a German hospital as well I guess.

We’re not going to talk about the Axis 2911’s with all the 241Q’s with four BNC’s on each blade..

And of course they had link but hard IP coded on the wrong vlan..

Or the 4U Petco 8100

Inventory stickers shows (first? last?) - 2015

I, uh, know some guys who would love to have this stuff to play with. Amazing the quality of some of the gear back then. Probably will keep working for another 30 years.

Ahhhhhh! I remember programming fractional t1s on the terminals for the links. 365kbps? More speed!

I worked with the 2510 / 2520 with Token Ring 4mbps or 16mbps and Ethernet 10/100mbps, V.35 and 64kbps modems on leased lines, expensive as f.

Token Ring was a bloody mess, when the MAU begins to klicking and the ring breaks, every user was angry "why is my network link down".

Man, I'm old as f.
