You have most of it right. I can only speak for the lab in Halifax. In the
lab, they have a table/bookcase that has about 200 pencils and pens of all
colors and types. You also will be given 4 sheets of paper, 2 large 11x14, I
think. and 2 8.5x11. Thats it. Hyperterminal is what I had on the last lab,
but I know they are making changes, Some stations did not use a termainl
server, but not all are changed as few weeks ago. I dont think you would be
allowed to take the CD player, but it would not hurt to send a email to RTP,
and ask. You might be suprised. I know when I took one of my labs, some time
back, I had a person next to me that talked, and yelled at themselves. The
head phones sure would have helped.
Good luck, and hope to see those 4 little numbers after your name in about 6
days.
Howard

Without going into NDA, what supplies do you have. Pencils, colored
pencils, paper. What is used to access the terminal server. Is it
Hyperterminal? I assume that you are allowed to take nothing into the lab. I
would like to take headphones and a cd player, but suspect that wouldn't be
allowed.
12 days to RTP
