I'll be in the US in about a month, and i can get the cisco's for about $160
USD, maybe I could setup a group buy and ship them to steve to distribute if
people were interested. Lucent's are around $80 + tax at a few places also.
shipping fedex would cost about $50+ USD so a few people would have to get
in on it to make it worthwhile.
