Every once in a while I do actual physical work. Yeasterday and this morning for example.
Yeasterday the disconnects for my T1 feeds to the old LAN were due. Called the NIC/NOC/NMC or whoever they are that monitor the network and them that the Old LAN was going to drop off the radar. They cheered.
Pulled the Encore DL200, the Phoenix, and the three GDC553's; and associated cables. Tossed the lot on the cart. This left the two Cisco 4000's with no WAN connections, so I pulled them out and tossed them on the cart. The Ethernet connections, now dead, lead to Ungerman-Bass 8-port AUI hubs. Rip and Toss. They fed Ungerman Bass Access One hubs -- five of them. Rip and Toss. Also led to the old Cabletrons. Got to the one in the 2.1 terminal room -- rip and toss. Also a 16-port 10baseT UB access stack, rip and set aside.
This morning I had a disconnect on another DL200 at the Torrance training center. Then back to Carson where I continued the rip and toss. Out of the 5.2 I pull the Cabletron MMAC8. Figure I might as well pull out the other dead equipment -- an old asychronous multiplexer and the four 9600bps feed circuits/modems.
