www.gstek.com. Very reputable, great to work with. Poke around the web,
but call when you want the straight scoop. If you're looking for any old
SPARC, they have IPXs no memory, no hd for $35. With some RAM, a 1-Gig HD,
and an AUI to 10Base-T converter you'll be into it maybe $150 if you just
want to use a serial console. Contact me if you need the pinouts for a
DB9 to IPX cable.
