There is a requirement that all discontinued equipment must be
supported for a period of five years from the date the product was
discontinued.  AT&T is obligated to provide that support, unless they
go out of business.  :-)

On the other hand, try to locate a 3b1/7300 product manager within
AT&T.  S/he does not exist.
