Kim,
We are still saying no to these I assume. Please let me know so I can get back to
the client.
If I do not hear from you by the end of the day today, I will let him know we
cannot do this one.
Thanks, Jerry

Hi:
Unfortunately the Sun SPARC LX is not one of the Athenizable machines.
At the present time the only model Sun we can Athenize is the Sun SPARCclassic
(see description below).
Perhaps we can help you get your machine working on MITnet.
thanks
