[tech] Olive (Cisco 2900) decomissioned

[Duncan Sargeant]

Its probably overkill, well hell its definitely overkill, but I've got
4 x Nortel 8610 switches to give away to a good home.  Does UCC want
them?  There are various numbers of 48-port 10/100 cards, 8-port GBIC
(with GBICs) cards, and an 8-port GigE UTP copper card.
