Well, sort of. I have a bunch of old network hardware. I've recently disassembled a test network, and there are a lot of useful leftovers. Rob Thomas (of cymru.com, amongst others) would like it. I'd really like him to have it. Unfortunately, I'm in Southern California, and Rob is in Chicago. I can get the equipment to Las Vegas, during defcon (http://www.defcon.org, for the three of you who don't know what it is), which is August 1-3 this year. If there's anyone driving to defcon from the Chicago area, who could take it back there, or if there's anyone who is going from SoCal to Chicago, would you please consider volunteering? Rob's contributions are so worthwhile, I'd really like him to have the goods. Otherwise, I'll just be donating them to a local trade school. I've blind carbonned this to a few folk who are probably not on Nanog, and who may or may not be able to help. Please, reply privately. No sense in starting yet another off topic thread. Here's the part that sucks. Don't volunteer if you can't be vouched for in some way. Either Rob should know you, or someone well-known on Nanog should know you, or I should know you. I want it to go to Rob. Sorry for disturbing everyone, but I'm really hopeful that this'll work out. -- "They had discovered Mr. Slippery's True Name and it was Roger Andrew Pollack TIN/SSAN 0959-34-2861, and no amount of evasion, tricky programming, or robot sources could ever again protect him from them."

It worked out very quickly. I even have backup volunteers. Thank you all, a whole lot, from me, and from Rob, too. Oh, and for those that wondered, I should have specified, it's a lot (router and other fun things). -- "They had discovered Mr. Slippery's True Name and it was Roger Andrew Pollack TIN/SSAN 0959-34-2861, and no amount of evasion, tricky programming, or robot sources could ever again protect him from them."

I really appreciate it. :) For those who offered to assist I'll let you sneak out before I begin my next NANOG Security BoF presentation. :) Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);
