Graham, I have an idea I'd like to ask you about. It seemed too obvious
to have been overlooked but what the heck, I'll ask anyway.

The DEC DESTA has a DB-15 connector for the Ethernet station and one
BNC connector for the ThinWire Ethernet cable. You are supposed to put
a BNC "T" connector on this to get to the cable.

Why not have two BNC connectors on the DESTA? You will always need to
use both. It will cost more but I'm sure the customer will be willing
to pay the extra cost since money is saved by not needing the "T".
