Anyone out there other than me old enough to have run a 10base2 network in their home? My first computers 2 computers when I was in high school I connected together with a 10base2 with 50 ohm terminators and all that. My mom wasnt happy as I literally knocked a hole in her wall without asking her.
This was back when the internet was still fairly new so you would get on with 1200 baud modems to a BBS that would give you a piggyback onto the internet which you might be lucky to get access to for 30 - 60 minutes a day.
10base2 network card attached for prosperity.

Back in my day they were coming up with new faster modems all the time. The holy grail was the 56K modems that were pretty much the last and fastest before things like DSL started to become the norm. Still used your phone lines and sent audio, but they were faster and would let you talk on the phone at the same time.
