Be warned - the pages contain some mighty large images! Skip using the
classic modems for this one, guys, better have at least a T1.

I still have no idea what the machine(s) is that I am inquiring about. I
would really doubt it would be a super goodie like a B205 or B5000, but
sometimes these oldies show up (like the IBM 7094 I recently missed, or
the LINC that has just been found).
