[Nathan C. Smith]

I thought this stuff was probably defunct, but I just learned today that
acrnet is alive and well in building management and automation applications.
some stuff just never dies.

Ahh, those were the days.  Built my first home network for $20.  The cable
and network cards were free, but CompUSA still sold the BNC tees and
terminators.  Doubt they do any more.  If anyone takes this cable off of
Nate's hands, I can probably dig up my old tees and terminators for you too.
