[HECnet] VMS question

[Mark Wickens]

Am I right in thinking that the GS60e requires 3 phase at European 
voltages whereas the GS60 can just about run from a 13 amp circuit?

There was the possibility of a GS60e going here at one time - I'd be 
interested in what folks thought about whether it would be worth the 
time and commitment to get it, run it. Unfortunately 3 phase would be a 
problem for me here.

Regards, Mark.
