	Would anyone have such a operators workstation?  Any leads on the
operating system for a SPP1000?

	I've got a friend with a SPP1000 that has been trying to get it up and
running for a while with no luck.  Mind you, I haven't even hooked up a
packet monitor for him in order to see what goes through the network,
but I'd be interested in anything that might help with the project.

P.S. - I'll have two SPP1200's and a SPP-1600 soon, should anyone be
interested.  	*grin*
