Hi David!
You know I purged all of my old study material a year or so back, but I
think maybe IPX and Apple Talk *were* still a very obscure part of the
associate tracks in '01. I don't recall their being a big part of the exams
at all, but I do think they still got at least passing mention in most of
the study books of the day. Token ring also got mention too, but I don't
think as a test subject so much as a footnote. FDDI was probably as close
to a LAN/MAN ring topology as I ever came in the real world (sometime back
probably in the mid 90s).
As for Chaos and Pup, they sound like rather exotic breeds to me...
Cheers,
Scott

I had Token Ring, it was just before the 3920 was a requirement. IPX and
AppleTalk were around. DEC had just been removed. I knew more about these
protocols then IP at the time. I wasn't bad with IP to say the least, just a
lot more hands on with the others. I've also played with Apollo and Banyan
Vines in the real world. Chaos and Pup just to see if I could configure
them.
