I recall several months ago there was some discussion here about
rack mounting a DELNI. Unfortunately I've lost the relevant messages

I would like to rack mount a DELNI, the User's Guide says that I need
a DEXRM kit to do this. The folks at DEC Direct ( in Canada ) say that
this kit does not exist. The DECDirect catalogue shows rack mounted
DELNIs in their Satellite Equipment Room picture, but doesn't list a part
number to do this. My salesman said, when I ordered the DELNI, that the
rack mount brackets were already installed inside the plastic cover, but
I removed the cover on mine and there aint no brackets !

If anyone has resolved this question I'd love to hear from you. I planned
the equipment to be rack mounted and it's going to be a real pain if I
can't do this.

ps. I could get someone to make some brackets, but this seems like a lot
of effort if the kit already exists and I'm just running into the usual
misinformed sales staff problem.
