Sun SPARC workstations have rectangular holes in their cases and identified
by a chain icon.  I take it that these are designed to accept barbed metal
eyelets through which security cables can be threaded to prevent/hinder
physical removal of the workstation.  Such a concept is well established in
the UK Macintosh community, with appropriate security kits available from a
number of sources, but almost totally unknown amongst the UK Sun community;
Sun UK being most notable in its apparent inability to respond to my simple
request to be referred to a security kit supplier.  One representative of
one of Sun UK's Authorised Business Centres even seemed to have difficulty
in understanding why we should even feel it necessary to lock our work-
stations down !

Can anyone out there in Netland help me ?

Thanks in anticipation, Steve
