They can be taken as checked luggage ... however, what Matthew means is
that by being in Vancouver he's already in transit to Australia.
However, we can give you access to the several remote test rings we
have, either Cupertino (send ssh key to Rick Jones <raj@netperf.org> or
Thiabut Var=C3=A8ne <varenet@parisc-linux.org>)

I thought we also had a wiki page listing all the machines, but I can't
find it.  They all use the HP Guardian Service Processor console, which
gives you remote console, power and all the other good things you need.
