Can't sell it; it belongs to my employer. But I can't use it either (sigh).
And yes, it's a 750. The IBM guy sent us 750s instead of 750Cs; told us we
could upgrade later. Then we found out that the upgrade cost was $2700/unit
and my boss said 'no way'.

sounds good. do you have details? or can you send me his email addr?
I'm not going to spend money on UNIX unless there's a guarantee that
it will work with the 750...including the pcmcia cards. w/o a modem
and ethernet it's not going to do me much good.

thanks, but I need a system that will let me run my UNIX apps.

okay...is there a list archive that I could look though?
