Don't Let the DoD Do Cabling

摘要

Back in the days of RG-58 ethernet CO-AX and Novell NetWare servers, I worked for a small networking firm. One of the VPs had friends at the Pentagon, and one day — to everyone's amazement — we landed a lucrative contract to install a network for a military pay-and-benefits facility at the Department of Defense (DoD). This was supposed to be a ground-up installation, everything from pulling cable to configuring the server, setting up all the stations, and training the user community.
