I am delighted to see that the workstation in the classroom 3-133 has
been replaced with a spiffy new SGI.  Unfortunately, in the process
the two-port AUI transceiver that was previously in place there was
removed.  The workstation is now networked using a UTP cable to the
only active network drop in that room.  We have occasion to use this
room for demonstrations using PCs that depend on a network drop.  The
IP address m3-133-2 (18.80.2.140) is still in the host table, and I
believe the School of Architecture and Planning is paying for it.
My colleagues and I would greatly appreciate your either restoring
the two-port transceiver that was previously in the room or activating
any of the other available jacks in the room.  The jack at the front
of the room is labeled with the IP address above, but does not work.
Turning this jack on would probably be the best solution.

Thanks!
