Denise and Jerry,

Luckily, we do.  We will be sending you a

Sun GDM-1962B

which is a 21" color monitor with power cord.  Please let us know if
this is too big to fit where the machine is installed (e.g., the current
box may be rack mounted, etc.).

Fair enough.  We will put together the specs for the system as soon as I
receive the data estimates from Dee/Jerry.

Just for our information, is the current machine on a UPS?  Will the new
one be?

Just to catch you up on our thinking, we are thinking of a machine similar
(but not exactly the same as) the following:

Base System:  Dual Intel Pentium III 700 Mhz Coppermine CPU w/256 KB Cache
                ASUS P2BDS Dual CPU SCSI ATX BX AGP Motherboard

The machine we do purchase will have more RAM, LOTs more disk with some
sort of RAID, redundant power supplies, dual network interfaces, and
better support.  Anything recommendations your system people can
provide at this stage would be greatly appreciated.  Do you have
gigabit ethernet capabilities in the Center?

>Thanks much,

Talk to you soon...
