Or they want to show they've been doing it long enough that they have
experience working with older gear younger people may not have even heard
of. I have experience with Portmasters, Pipelines, and home built Linux
multiport dialup PPP servers. None are relevant today. IMO, at least the
latter demonstrates some skills. Rolling your own 80-port dialup
server in 1995 wasn't just "yum install dialup-server" :)
I don't mention Portmasters or Pipelines on my resume, but I do have
Livingston and Ascend in the list of [many obsolete] router brands I have
experience with. Is that really totally irrelevant now?
