Are you sure about that?
The 9k6 leased line was run on a pair of Paradyne error correcting leased line Async Modems, which John Houlker smuggled into New Zealand stating it was a computer, off the top of my head. The Paradynes were ditched personally by me, after I found them hidden under the raised flooring in the Comms room at the back of the Computer Room. They were sitting beside the old router, the name of which I can't remember anymore, which was a PC chassis, before that was replaced by the Cisco MGS which ran the internet from when it was upgraded to the 64k Synchronous Serial link.
so, one of the 5 of these: http://www.knossos.net.nz/don/wn1.html
Are we talking 5 of those plus enough spare parts to build another one :) http://www.lindsay.geek.nz/images/Cisco_AGS_Parts/ I found these hidden away - obviously virgins AFAIK they were purchased for upgrade that never happened. All happened before I started at Uni, I was there at the tail end of the NZIX days when the last handfull of customers pulled out and I pulled out the 2 Cisco Catalyst 2926s.
