In this video I connect a Cisco AGS+ to 10base5, 10base2 and Starlink! A crazy project, but a lot of fun. I also get a Windows 3.11 computer to ping the internet through Thicknet and Thinnet and UTP networks.
Is this tech older than you?
Huge thanks to Dave Mayberry from Go Communication for loaning me the router used for demonstration purposes in this video.
