Kudos, I'm quite envious, this is awesome news! I appreciate your writeup, touching
on the odd world this lives in, between computer and telecom appliance. Whether the 3B20
family was liked out in the general computing world or not, the impact on
telecommunications is clear with the long shadow of the 5ESS family of switches.
Hopefully Lucent was still keen on providing /usr/src and /usr/man :)
I'm still holding out hope a WECo-era machine pops up someday...but either way, glad
to finally see something in this lineage in the hands of someone with a keen eye for UNIX
and Bell System history!

Howdy,
I now have this pictured 3B21D in my facility

It will be a moment before I can start work on documentation of the
3B21D and DMERT/UNIX-RTR but wanted to share the news.
Awesome accomplished. Can't wait to see the outcome.
