I have some _untested_ DELQA _somewhere_ (remember that I just moved).
Let me know if it doesn't sort itself and I'll go dig.

Yes. Same thing. That would be very nice...

Argh. Looks like my DELQA gave up on me last night. Just stopped
working suddenly, while my 11/93 was running. I suspect something
gave up in it, but I have very little possibility to troubleshoot
anything where I live now.
Even worse, all my spare parts are in Sweden, while I live in
Switzerland.

This is not critical in any way, since the 11/93 is PONDUS::, which
is just for my own amusement and the machine where I back up my own
data to tape. But I thought I'd send a question out, just for the
off-chance that I could get lucky. :-)

Dave did you take those two

using as foot rests? If so can you confirm that they work?
I'm not sure of what items you're talking about...can you refresh me?
The two footrests were a pair of DEC networking gizmos that worked to
serve terminal sessions. I believe they were the bigger family members
to the Terminal servers I have.here. Those were Terminal Server model
90L+ units. I think you said they were model 25s but even I might be
remembering wrong.
OH those, yes I remember now. Those were DECserver 200/MCs. They're
really nice LAT terminal servers. 8 ports, LAT only, full modem control
on all ports. Uses PR0801ENG.SYS if memory serves.
But no, I didn't get those...I have three or four of them here,
otherwise I'd have picked them up. I hope they went to a good home.

Good little machines, and reasonably power-efficient and compact while
still having enough PCI slots to do useful things.
They are based on the 21064A; considerably faster than the 21066 at
the same clock speed. I don't recall what chipset is wrapped around it.
(in either case)
And I'm darned glad it wasn't me.....
Well the fellow who got them was quite happy about it. ;)

Still working on what to launch now that I know that a name created
via dynamic DNS is acceptable.....
