I would appreciate any info (or a pointer) on thin ethernet.
In particular I need to know what limitations there are in
using it compared with regular ethernet. This just suddenly
became interesting because of Sun's new Model 3/50 workstations
with built in thin ethernet transceivers.
Unless I misunderstand, I can just wire a series of offices with
thin ethernet, leaving an exposed T-connector in each. Then as the
the need arises just cable the Sun to open tap on the T. If I
need to connect a conventional piece of ethernet equipment in
an office, I cut out the T, solder in some N-connectors and
screw in a standard transceiver.
