Well since Gil (gil at limbic) is looking for another machine to tinker
with (hardware development, etc...) I figured I would call Var Tech.
They were very pleasant on the phone, I got a return phone call that
afternoon from Steve (sorry, forgot his last name).  I asked if you
had any AT&T UNIX pc's for sale, he replied, "How many do you need?
100?"   Well, I said no.. but he did mention that the price was $649
that got your a 20MB PC7300 with 1MB of RAM on the motherboard.
This included the Operating System too.  

Disclaimer:  I'm not affilated with Var Tech in any way, and haven't
done business with them in the past.

Well if anyone has any better price (for this configuration), drop
Gil a email message, I'm sure he'd like to hear with you! :-)
