Re: Lament for Old v.35 Cables (and other comm equipment)

I'm sure you have some really fine reasons for doing this, but it
sounds like the wrong people are in charge. You take a "working",
"solid as a rock" comm. system out for "pure tcp/ip" ?????

I would "love" to see the business justification for that move.

I would also like to know who promotes tcp/ip as "modern", since
it is actually almost as old as V.35(1971 as I recall for tcp/ip).
