    Just a quick note, I just acquired a 3B2 600G and 400, loads of docs and software, and some spare parts. I will chronicle my learning and
    struggles and follow up with a link to my web page when ready.

    Regards,
    Kevin

    Keven, I just came upon your email. What a fantastic project!!! Did you chronicle your learning and struggles? I am VERY interested since I am the Curator of the IH Museum, and a WE/AT&T/LU/ALU/Nokia/TTY/etc. fanatic!
    I also have ported the AT&T 730 terminal tools from the 3B2 to modern Debian Linux and the Raspberry Pi Zero W ($10 computer), and got visdn working on AT&T 7506 ISDN phones and the 730 with ISDN simulator to I can call between phones using visdn on the
    730!

    I am also restoring/refurbihing a Teletype Model 43 printing terminal.

    I also have a 3B2 400 or 500 that I need to get working (after sustaining water damage decades ago).

    So I'm very interested in your project.

    Hi Chuck,

    I got the big 600G working well. I haven't done much with the 400 yet
    but mostly because the project got bigger than I could have ever
    imagined... I now own a AT&T Long Lines L-3i bunker and am slowly
    turning it into a computing and communications museum. I am located in Northern Arizona if you ever want to see it.

    In the meanwhile Seth Morabito has become the internet's resident 3B2
    expert, have you seen https://loomcom.com/3b2/?

    Where is IH?

    Regards,
    Kevin
