3B20's are not worth the bother.  AT&T isn't supporting UNIX for them.  The
hardware, while suitable for a phone switch, is pretty lousy.  The Ethernet
interface doesn't work at all despite the $$$ I spent on it.  The CE's are
constantly grousing about having to lug these Delco batteries around and
despite that the machine goes wierd everytime the power gets shut off anyway.

The later processors in the 3B line actually claim to be UNIX machines and
fare a little better.
