Well, I could give that stuff a home.
Its a shame it gave you so much headache. I rather enjoyed my years with TR 
and found Ethernet silly at first.

I don't know where you are, but I suppose the Centillion would be a loss 
with shipping.

If you were using the "hubs" and not having luck did you initialize them 
first? They have a low power relay to close the loop when nothing is 
inserted in the port. You need to find an "initializer" which is a 
hermaphrodite connector with a 9 volt battery in it to energize the relay.
