I would also like to have some idea of 3B2 system and AT&T terminal worth.  
Please respond via EMAIL to the internet address contained in my .sig at
the end of this message.  I am not looking to get rid of these systems just
yet, but the march of technology and changing needs may force a switch to PC
and/or MAC platforms.  Of course, configurations are really necessary 
(I think) to price these beasts with any degree of accuracy, so here is a 
listing of systems and configurations upon which I would like opinions on 
value.  All reasonable opinions are welcome:

3B2/400: 4 MB RAM, 72 MB HD, Floppy, System V 2.0.4 
	 5 PORTS cards (4 serial, 1 parallel each)
	 MAU, CTC, 30 MB cartridge tape unit,
	 no operating system media; preinstalled on HD
	 AT&T Office Telesystem installed; no media

3B2/500: 8 MB RAM, 147 MB internal HD, floppy, System V 3.1.1
	 60 MB cartridge tape unit, MAU, 3 EPORTS cards (8 serial ports
         each), 1 PORTS card (4 serial, 1 parallel), Starlan card (NAU), 
	 SCSI card, VCACHE, 147 MB external HD w/controller (separate box)

	 All software: (floppy media except core OS):
		Operating system (SYSV 3.1.1 V3) (cartridge tape)
		Security Administration 3.0
		Expanded I/O Capability (PORTS) Utilities
		Enhanced Ports Utilities 1.2
		Scsi disk controller utilities 3.0
		Networking support utilities 1.2
		Remote file sharing utilities 1.2
		Starlan Network DOS server program 1.0
		Starlan Network DOS server program 1.01
		Starlan Network Network Access unit 1.1
		Starlan Network Network Program 1.1
		Starlan Network OSI network program 3.1
		Starlan Network 3b2 NAU program 3.1
		Starlan Network 3b2 server prog. 3.1
		Starlan Network DOS programs 3.1
		StarGroup 3b2 OSI Net. Program 3.2
		StarGroup 3b2 NAU prog. 3.2
		StarGroup 3b2 server prog. 3.2a
		Documenter's Workbench 2.0
		Writer's Workbench 3.0
		630 MTG soft. dev. package 1.0
		Graphics Utilites 
		Adv. Prog. Util. Source code util 1.1
		Adv. Prog. Util. E.S.Gen. util 1.1
		Adv. Prog. Util. Adv. util. 1.1
		C programmer's productivity tools issue 1, v0
	 	C programming lang. util. issue 4 v4.2
		C programming lang. util. Software gen issue 4, v4.2
		Fortran 77XLA+ prog. lang. util. ext. soft. gen. 1.0.3
		Fortran 77XLA+ soft. gen. util. 1.0.3
		Fortran 77XLA+ compiler 1.0.3

DMD630 Terminals: capable of 2 serial host connections in windows, plus
	printer connection.  With appropriate cross compilers (see 3b2/500
	above) programs can be written in c, compiled and downloaded into 
	the terminals to run.  Each terminal is 68000 based (10 MHz) with
	1 MB of RAM.
