I have (4) Sun lunchboxes in ghetto-colo at a radio station; three IPXs
and one IPC. I'm not terribly impressed with them. I'm thinking of a
serious UNIX box in terms of a U1-U?? or a decent SGI.

715/50 sounds like an HP-UX box. I've seen a few of these orphaned
children at work. They are poorly kept. But dig the LEDs...
