Hello!
I am both relieved in thinking that I am not the only one on this list
to be considered like that, and jealous especially considering the
DECserver 200.

I've been trying to track down one of those beasts for a very long
while now. Practically the entire time period that I've known (in a
matter of speaking) all of you on this list, plus the few I know from
two other lists. (Three even.)

I got mine off ebay, a quick look on US ebay shows that there are plenty of them available, e.g.:

DECserver 700-16:

DECserver 200/MC:

The one you really want is the DECserver 932.   It's dense.

Peace...   Sridhar

I've got a DECserver 900TM which works pretty well but I've noticed a pretty significant lag/poor performance when I use the TCP/IP connection.   It's the only one I've ever had so I don't know if it's typical for these units or if I have a problem.
