I've got some equipment I want to get rid of. Some of its obscure but
there's probably enough hardware hacker types that would be interested.

Intel NetportExpress Pro 10/100 - Free
********************************
 Network Print server. Has two Parallel and and one RS-232 printer port.
Under TCP/IP it runs as an LPR daemon, so it's compatible with Linux. I've
got some printer cables I can throw in if you need them.


Two Technologies SMT-Serial Terminals - Free
********************************
Quantity two of these. These are OEM versions with labels for a specific set
of software but I think that's all that's different. It's an RS-232 terminal
with a 20 character 4 line display. If you were looking for some sort of
interface for an embedded system this might fit the bill. They originally
were used for a system that was a door controller. The terminal accepted a
pin, and the relay controllers below released the door.

K108 Serial Relay Controllers - Free
********************************

Qty 2 - This is an RS-232 based, opto-isolated relay controller. According
to the specs max voltage is 240 VAC, max power is 250W. The unit has 8
independently addressable relays that can be turned on or off. These were
originally used for a  door release, but you could use them for practically
anything.  If you want to do doors, I've got a couple of Trine LC-100 strike
release regulator things too.

Lantronix EDS-4100 - $125
********************************
This is a network / RS-232 Terminal server. The device has an Ethernet
connection and 4 RS-232 ports. Originally it was used with two SMT display
terminals and a relay controller.

Ports can be accessed over the network via Telnet, SSH, etc. Under Linux I'm
sure you can use TCP/IP sockets for direct access. I imagine there's some
sort of network/tty driver but I don't know what it would be.  For Windows,
a driver is available that makes the serial ports show up as virtual serial
ports on the device.

Keyspan USB/Serial Adapter - $20
********************************
I've used this with Linux and it works fine.

Misc. IDE HD - Free
********************************
2B02H1 - Free
92048U8 - Free

APC Smart UPS-700 - $60
********************************
This unit works and has brand-new batteries in it. Basically I'm just asking
for the cost of the batteries back.  Batteries were replaced in August.
