  I remember this very differently.  From my recollection, the "N"
connector was designed by a Mr. Neill, who later worked with a
Mr. Concelman (sp?) who developed the BNC and TNC connectors...Bayonet
Neill-Concelman, and Threaded Neill-Concelman.

  Anybody have a definitive reference?

  Modified modular jack.  It's a DEC serial thang.  Nowhere near as
old as DB25s though.

  Complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor.
