Count me in on this one.

Things that we MAY need for testing are:
	10baseT hub and cables
	Coax cables, T peices, terminators
	"micro PABX" (optional)
		I remember seeing a device in the "Black Box Catalog" which 
		accepts two phone lines and acts as a small isolated PABX. Useful for 
		testing modems. Either this or a couple of "UWA only" lines so we
		can create a phony ISP arrangement.
	Installation CD-ROMs
		RedHat (5.1)
		Debian (whatever the latest release is)
		Slakware (just so some people don't feel left out)
	Screwdrivers
		(an engineer with a screwdriver should be considered dangerous :-)
		Standard "21-piece" set
		"Jewellers" flat and Phillips head (I have a set of each)
	Plenty of 3 & 4 mm screws (-:
	Cable ties
