I did AT&T network support and I mostly had AT&T Starlan (SMB/ISO) but I do recall playing with IBM NetBEUI and having to solder. I think it was arcnet based hardware.
Another network protocol I wanted to exhibit someday was IBM's Token Ring. When I worked there in college I used to set up Token Ring networks for sales demos, driving up and down the State of Delaware from Wilmington to Salisbury. I did more than just Token Ring, everything they were selling in 1987 that could be fit into the back of a 1980 Toyota Tercel. Display Writers, PS/2's, Terminals, etc. Sometimes larger systems would be at the location waiting for me, like System 36's. b
