The network hung or what?  That's treating it awefully flipply.  First, it
doesn't just hang, no a piece breaks out of the blue, and leaves the whole
network down until you turn everything off and remove the offending piece
(and the computer it was attached to) from the network and reboot.  That
is unpardonable, especially since there are so many pieces to break (Ts,
and terminators especially like to go at bad times).

I think it is neater.  Cables can be more neatly routed.

Standard AUI is DB15 (with a clip).
