Well, if you want 2650 dpi, yer out of luck; legal size is about the 
max there.  Sizes up to ``tabloid size'' can be had on the Linotronic
after the 300, (I can't remember if its a 350, 400, 600 or whataver).

Your best chance is calling the linotronic folks and finding the
closest Sales office. Ask them who has one of these big beasts
in the area. It's usually a newspaper. Then you have to sweet-talk 
them into letting you have some time on their machine.
