haha - it's good to see. Yet, I fully expect spurious noise on
   the line in the future; I never expect a connection to remain
   stable but unlike modems, learning takes place amongst the
   spurious noise and the NORs back and forth.

   Poor computers. So binary. They don't know yet that all the new
   stuff happens in the error negotiation process and in all the
   illegal states.

   And a run condition? That SHOULD be a computer's epiphany. But
   they're not ready yet.
