List,
There is an IBM 3725 available in Champaign/Urbana Illinois at a local
scrapper.
It is large, blue, and runs on three phase (as far as I could tell).
Please let me know if anyone is interested in saving it. No docs, no
media, no nothing... Just a large heavy blue computer. I certainly have
neither the space nor the juice to house this beast.
I'm also quite interested in what it is.
Thanks for your replies, and please email if you have an interest in
the system.

It's a communications controller for an IBM mainframe computer.
You hooked it up to your mainframe, put another comm controller on the other
end of a leased line, and you could have terminals/printers etc. hooked up
to a remote location.

But it is indeed a computer in its own right -- though a rather odd sort of
beast.
