Thanks Kirk,

After thinking about it, at this time I'm not wanting hardware that
won't run a currently released BSD.  However, if any of these boxes are
able to run one then I am interested.  By able to run, I mean that they
have a drive, enough memory, etc all functional and able to boot and run
the NetBSD install media (floppy, CD).

If it is fully functional (reasonably clear screen, keys work), I would
be interested in the VT100.  I have a nephew at Carleton and would drive
up to Ottawa for a pre-Christmas (he's from the west coast) visit and
would get the VT100 at that time.

I still can't get the website from Kingston (ISP=porchlight.ca).  DNS is
fine but the html connection times out.

Thanks,

Doug.
