[VoIP] 2600 and N2 Carrier, the end?

[Richard Walsh]

Hello Chad -
   
  Great to hear that the N2 material will be saved and is already approaching the museum.
   
  Unfortunately I couldn't make to Maine again....but ...next year.
   
  I have those adapter plates (19" to 23") for you - need to get them boxed and off your way.
   
  I should be up on CNET soon.  My 701A SXS is coming together in the basement.
  Take care,
   
  Rick Walsh

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).
