Or a pretty good kerberos serveonm a private network to provide
universal login to all the other boxes we want to have *grin*

Given what I know of alphas, these are great boxes, and I *KNOW* we
cna find a good home for them.

Either my house (TriLUG c/o Me) or Inflow (TriLUG c/o Inflow). It'd
probably be fater to ship it to me or Jon, so we can put an OS on it,
then move it to inflow.

Oh, and FWIW, I have a Cobalt RaQ, I'm just waiting on (a) permission to
use it and (b) instructions on installing Linux on a headless,
Floppyless, CD-less machine....

Time to dig up my nullmodem cable...
