Yes, an excellent price.  Did you know IBM sells these in their mail-
order catalog for ~$600-700 or so?

I _also_ have an 8228 for sale in the same condition, in the box, complete
with the little plastic "wire loom".  It is marked "For United Kingdom
use only", which I was told by an ISSC (IBM Consulting Div.) consultant
is just a formality.  8228's are essentially passive devices.
Price:  $195/bo.   I'm sure all of these will go fast...    :-)
