For your ref. the delqa is a M7516 and add -YM for the "turbo" version. I
just checked the DDA for any listed in Australia and none are listed. If
you want I will go through the subscriber list and find some for you.

I know it doesn't help much for shipping concerns but Datacom Warehouse
carries them for about $25 either 10base2 or 10baset. www.warehouse.com

Which console cable are you looking for? I may have one.
