Wow. That's way cool thing you're doing. As far as hardware goes,
I independently reinvented the BLOB METHOD when it comes to soldering.
So I don't do much of that. Besides I breathed too much lead trying.
What I was wondering is if anyone knows of anyone willing to think
about selling a BorderGuard 1000 or BorderGuard 2000 (preferably a
2000). They were manufactured by NSC/STK/SUN when they were at
7600/7625 BooneAvS. Their URL was the infamously great (but their
website was stupidly under done): www.network.com
