Some really nice people gave me a 2700 about a year ago, and after 
getting it cleaned up, I really fell in love with it.  In fact, I'm 
looking to get another one for my non-profit corporation if somebody
has one available for sale (cheap).

If you'd like to run troff on a 2700, contact Image Network, 140 South 
Wisman Rd., Mountain View, CA 94041 415/967-0652.  They have a troff 
port called 'xroff' that works great with 2700's.
