in original box, with original docs.

I tested it with Linux client using WPA2. It's from 2004 with b/g.

It has a USB port for a printer, although I didn't bother to find out how to use 
it.

It's not setup from the usual web interface. You need a special Apple utility, 
which doesn't run on any modern Apple OS. Instead I set it up with a windows 
utility "Airport Utility 5.6".

Interestingly while it works with Linux clients, using the default setup, it 
wouldn't route packets from a Win7 machine or an iPhone IOS 11.3. I assume it's 
supposed to work with these OS's. Perhaps it's a matter of playing with the 
setup.

I'm in Durham. Contact me off-list to pickup.

Joe
