I still have a mostly fallow land line that I can use. When I have some time in the next week or two, I'll try to get things ready under SVR3 UNIX. -Seth -- Seth Morabito w...@loomcom.com ________________________________________________ My introduction to UUCPNet, emai and USENET News was on a couple of 3B2's. Great machines. I used to have two of them at home but they died over a decade ago. Somewhere arounf here I still have my xerox of the WE3200 architecture manual. I loved that CPU. bill
