Last week I asked if there is an agency or individual that accepts
old equipment.  Four people responded that they still used some DOS
equipment and would willing to adopt the orphaned Braille Display
Processor.  I picked one of them, and the equipment is on its way
across the country.

I didn't hear of any agencies set up to accept old equipment.

Thanks for your help.
