[vcf-midatlantic] Need a couple AUI cables - building 10base-5 LAN

[Jim Scheef]

Brian,
As I'm sure you are aware, brand new Belden 9880 (genuine etherhose) is available if
not exactly cheap. Nevertheless, I'm willing to donate 100 feet of the stuff to make
the museum project work whenever that might be. 
Jim
