[from Yiddish/German `dreck',
meaning filth] Deliberate distortion of DECNET, a networking
protocol used in the VMS community. So called because DEC
helped write the Ethernet specification and then (either stupidly
or as a malignant customer-control tactic) violated that spec in
the design of DRECNET in a way that made it incompatible. See also
connector conspiracy.
