A friend of mine in .au (he runs http://www.pldaniels.com/) had a V20Z
donated by Sun so that he could ensure his mail scanner/content filter
worked fine under Solaris 10. Quite a nice machine too - dual Opteron, 2GiB
RAM, either one or two 73GiB drives. Still not quite sure how he wangled
it, but if he could get a machine, I can't see why Sun won't donate one for
SunHELP.
