The 2/170 is *old*! Our latest desktop machines (SPARCstation 1+ for
instance) leak very little RF. I think they're even shielded
sufficiently for use in residential areas, but I'm not certain. If you
upgrade to one of our modern machines you shouldn't have any problems.

I forget exactly which FCC regulations we comply with - they're not
really relevant in the UK. Contact your local Sun sales office for
more details.
