Re: Character-based (Green screen)/twinax systems?

Had a customer with I believe 8 of those 8 port 'Chicklet' bricks 
running under the computer room floor and into a hole in the wall.  Went 
to the other side of the wall (in the plant) and, um, nothing! 
Customer got out a hex Key and turned two screws in holes in the wall 
and opened up the WALL!  Inside the wall those things were screwed to 
the studs four on each side with all the Twinax feeding from there up 
into the ceiling.

Since NONE of the twinax was still in use we had 'fun with nips' and 
created us a good size mountain of cables!
