Is this worth a punt? Looks to be untested save for that it powers on.
I've been looking for a DECServer that works on 10-baseT for a while.
The seller is probably unable to test it without a MOP server.
I haven't checked the price on DECserver 200's lately, but newer ones
(DECserver 90, DECserver 700) are very expensive even on Ebay.
100s and 200s are practically giveaways, but that's practically a
giveaway price. They're great little machines.

Must be UK English Johnny :-)
Punter translates to gambler so a punt for me at least translated as "attempt".

What do you mean by "punt"?
Anyway, in general I like the DECserver 200 and 300. And there are
pretty much always machines online on HECnet which can boot them.
(Both MIM:: and PONDUS:: for example.)

Hello!
Dave what news on your packing up a "care package" for my honorable self?
I thought I'd write since it has been a considerable while.
Not yet, sorry man. Another crunch time snuck up on me at work, and
I'm leaving (finally) for my very last Florida truck trip next week. It
will have to be after my return. I'm sorry for taking so long.
Incidentally the cybermen arranged around your establishment all say hello.
FEAR!

Hello!
Oh okay. Take your time, and be careful down there.
Why should you fear them? They were requested by your PDP-11 system to
protect it.

Speeds are amazing, middle of the woods, I get 6/3 Mbps up down on a 3G dongle hooked to my Draytek router, and like 12/5 on my iPad.
13 euros a month, unlimited bandwidth and as much speed as your device can drive.
Oh and they've got a 4G base station in town, like 7 km away, should get like 40+ Mbps there.
Then again, Helsinki cable operators are now offering 300/20 Mbps as their to product :)
