I think I saw one either at a computer show, or maybe at the AT&T Canada
offices once upon a time.....  It wasn't black, but it wasn't a US Navy
model either.

All you ever wanted to know about the people and projects at IW where
the 3B2 originated is on this and its parent page:

	http://home.xnet.com/~msk/iw/history.html

There's some good info there about major industry "firsts" there too.

Some pictures and details of the models here:

IIRC I think the pictures beside the 3B2/1050 R3 and 3B2/1100 R3 are
accurate to what I saw.

(BTW, don't bother with www.3b2.com -- it has nothing to do with 3b2s as
far as I can tell :-)
