That last post brought back memories.
The last company in a series of them that my business unit was absorbed by was Black Box. Somewhere here I have
this catalog from 1985. Phone in your order to put it in a lick & stick envelope and wait
days......
RS-232, RS-522, modems the size of breadboxes, breakout boxes, teletypewriters. I worked on all that stuff and a lot more (
and don't miss it). That stuff hung on a long, long time in a tech environment that evolves very quickly.
