"Compaq logistics" have nothing to do with getting an SMP box to the UK.
I have my normal job to do here besides trying to accomodate everyone that
needs systems across the globe.
It is happening as was already mentioned.
Thanks for your insightful comment anyhow.

Duh. Compaq logistics should very well be capable of sending anything
anywhere (including the UK ;-) So, assuming CPQ US handles shipping
things should work out just fine. If they need a CPQ middleman in the EC
they can drop me a line at my Compaq email address.

Yep, Rawhide is 4000/4100. 8200/8400 is Turbolaser which is a
different beast.
