I sent the messages twice in almost identical messages.  The first time 
they were message/rfc822 attachments, which were stripped from the copy 
I got from the mailing list.  So I replied to that message and included 
the copy of the original attachments as inline text in the body of my reply.

I ran across the following messages in comp.os.os2.marketplace 
(referenced from comp.os.os2.programmer.misc) and remembered that there 
were a few people talking about IBM's Personal Communications Manger 
here, particularly in the context of the P/390.  So I figured that I'd 
cross post the info.  The asking price (free + S) seems reasonable.)

It loos like the attached messages got stripped.  I'll copy body 
contents here.


There are a couple other items by the same poster; ITSO redbooks, and 
OS/2 Warp 4 "Launch Event Demo" CD.

Re: Next 'stack' of computers to go, IBM p7's - not classics this time

[Pete Lancashire via cctalk]

I have used Pak Mail in the past where they have come out the stuff
vanishes and eventually gets delivered.

But unless I hear from somebody that they're willing to offer some money
for this stack I'm not going to go through the process for $100. By the way
I'm not asking much more than that local pickup.

Today or sometime this weekend they're going to go out on the back porch
with a tarp over them.

And when that pile gets too big my estate will determine what to do with
the stuff.

I'll second Noel's point about Pakmail. I used them to send a big
AS/400 to Canada once. They charged $200 for the 250 mile round trip
to collect it, plus crating & freight.

In fact, if Mark doesn't go for it I may be tempted...

Like I said, they will come pick things up, as they sit - perfect for Pete's
situation. And from my experience, not _always_ cheap, but _usually_ pretty
good (e.g. a large PDP-11 in a 19" rack from Toronto to Virginia was about
$500, which for international freight on something that big is pretty good.)

Austin, TX, is kind of a far drive.
