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

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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).
