Shipping for the item was listed as "$50 Standard Shipping" with no mention of freight shipping. But, the seller shipped it via a freight carrier. Surprisingly they've assured there would be no additional freight charges, and have even offered to reimburse me for lift-gate service if that ends up being required. There's no way a freight carrier could get in and out of my driveway, and there's no one home during the day to accept the delivery. Hopefully I can arrange dock pick-up. I'm think it's small enough that I could get it in and out of my mini-van myself. Thanks to someone on another list I have copies of install media. I've also ordered a two drives. I've been told if I acquire a second ethernet card I can set up one for console access instead of using a twinax terminal as the console. Does anyone know if that requires special software or can 5250 emulator can be used for the console? All my PCs run Linux so if Windoze software is required that could be a problem. Actually I like twinax terminals, especially the keyboards, but there are very few listed on eBay right now and they're all more than I'd really want to pay for one. Does anyone have a twinax terminal in need of a good home? -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system?
