The sun-spots digest is one of the most useful, informative and entertaining
groups that truly reflects the popularity and commitment of Sun's many
satisfied customers.

The comment on the connector is not a Sun specific complaint, it refers to
a long debate on comp.protocols.tcp-ip, regarding the DB15 ethernet drop
cable attachment as used by *all* ethernet vendors ('cos its in the standard).

Read sun-spots, not these flame wars :-) for the full story.
