Hello everybody,
along with Mr. Hans Pufal, I was among those interested in Pete Turnbull's
recent offer of network/terminal server equipment. However, the stuff needs
to disappear fairly quickly from where it is now - i.e. a definitive
arrangement has to be made until 23rd of July and pickup would have to take
place before the end of the month.
And here the fun begins: I have no chance to go abroad and get it in time as
I'll be doing my 2nd Term Electrical Engineering testpapers in late
July/early August. Just about no way around that.
Pete and I have worked out that I should ask here if anybody from the UK
(preferably near York) would go on holiday on the Continent this summer
(passing through Southern Germany), or vice versa, and could be persuaded to
collect and drop off the equipment in question. In return I offer
lunch/dinner, drinks and if wanted a financial contribution for fuel.
From what it looks like by now, the cargo will be the
following:
(most certainly one each, max. two)
Emulex P4000 terminal server w/ bits and pieces/cables)
Connection panel for above (rackmount 2U high)
3Com Linkbuilder FMS II 24-port hub (rackmount 1U high)
3Com SuperStack II PS 40 24-port hub (rackmount 1U high)
(small stuff)
assorted plugins for above hubs
AUI/10baseT-Microtransceivers
(perhaps)
one terminal DEC VT220, 420, or 510.
To Mr. Hans Pufal: I've been told that you are already making a transport
arrangement for the stuff you want. If nobody hits my area closer
(Nuremberg, southern Germany) it has been suggested that I ask if you could
have the additional material transported to France, which is at least a bit
nearer for me to come by and pick it up later this summer.
Please CC any answers to Peter <pete(a)dunnington.u-net.com> as well; I don't
know if it's useful to answer on-list, I'd rather not.
Thanks in advance

I read this on comp.sys.dec today, it might solve your transport problem
From: Phillip Helbig---remove CLOTHES to reply

Subject: looking for DEC stuff in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, England
Newsgroups: comp.sys.dec
Date: 2004-07-03 07:06:05 PST
I will be travelling this summer in July and August and am looking for
used DEC equipment in Germany (24--25 July or in August), Denmark (19,
25, 26 July or 01 August), Sweden (19 July--01 August) or England (9--12
August). I can collect it from wherever it is now.
I am looking for desktop VAX machines, VAXstation 4000 or better, any
desktop (or minitower) ALPHA, SBB disks (wide and narrow), BA356 boxes
(I have enough BA350), BA353 boxes (pizza box), SBB DLT drives,
"internal" DLT drives, SCSI CD-ROM drives, big colour monitors,
switches, cables (MMJ, SCSI, monitor, RJ45 (thinwire ethernet).
I will check email again on Sunday 18 July! After that, I will be
travelling again, so please provide a telephone number (I speak English,
German and Swedish but not Danish!) and good directions as well as the
times I could collect; I will ring you a day or two before and confirm
things.

In case it's at all useful, I'll probably be visiting Pete in a few
weeks' time and should have space in the car to fit that lot in (unless
the P4000 is enormous!).
That'd only get it from York to Cambridge, but Cambridge is at least a
little more central.
If there's a chance of sneaking this Conitec system in for Bernd at the
same time it'd be handy for him too I think :-)
The only problem is there's no way I could hang on to this stuff in
Cambridge for more than a few days - there just isn't the room. But it
might save someone from the bottom half of the UK a trip to York and
back. Of course it also assumes Pete can get the stuff to his home
before I go and see him.
No idea if this is useful or not, but it's another idea for the pot
anyway.
cheers,
Jules

I've got some stuff to be picked up at the moment, but after it's picked
up I think at the end of July. I can store some stuff in central London
if the need arises. As long as it's not obscenely massive I can help out.
