It sounds like we're still short on patch cables. I don't have any long
ones any more, but I'm sure someone can help.

I *THINK* Roy said he'd try to bring the "TriLUG Firewall" from RTI -
that is, the box we use at meetings to MASQ at Dreyfus. if he can't,
though, just put 2 NICs in the Sparc, and we can work the rest out....

Both my laptop machine and my desktop machine have CDRW drives, and I
can bring some of my unused media. of course, my SparcIPC doesn't *HAVE*
a CD-ROM drive. neither, at the moment, does the alpha - but the alpha
seems to have a bad floppy, too. I'll be scavenging parts from some of
my other systems prior to the 'fest *grin*
