Hiya Bruce,
On 06-10-97, whilst lying in the gutter of the information super highway, I 
heard Bruce LeGrande whispering to All about Brands,
 BL> BTW: What are "AUI" connections ?  And what are pro/con vs RJ45 & BNC
 BL> ?
Something like "Attachment Unit Interface" ISTR but commonly called thicknet 
or 10Base5 and used once upon a time for longer runs (500m ish) and 
backbones. Rarely used other than to plug a tranciever into now to convert to 
10Base2 or 10BaseT.
