My racks don't have skins---no need since they are in a nice secure blockhouse---and I like the all-around access, but if I used racks I'd have to seismically brace the units (i.e. tie them to the shelves). Besides, it offends me that they do quite a nifty job with the rack mount kits---one size fits all: front/centre/rear/wall mount @19" or 23"---and then I need a jemmy to install the box. At least the PCMCIA slot on recent units is accessible (unlike on the 25xx series, oops). --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
