The Wawina "packaged" N2 (three systems worth) along with six systems worth from 
Grand Rapids, MN (not to be confused with the other one) has safely arrived in 
Maine and will make its way to The Telephone Museum (aka the New England 
Museum of Telephony http://www.thetelephonemuseum.org/) tomorrow.  We are still 
desirous of a repeater cabinet or two and some decent signage which may involve a 
future trip, but for now, what needed to be done now has been done (both central 
offices had unique space issues that made removal of the N2 office equipment 
urgent).
