1. Any device whose physical characteristics make it a likely candidate
to be shelf-mounted, yet which has side ventilation ports which will be
blocked by the sides of a rack shelf.

2. The BAT csu/dsu, a cheap T1 csu/dsu which used red LED's to indicate
that all was well (or was it green to indicate an alarm?)

3. Routers that will accomodate high density of OCx ports but only have
the bus capacity to support a fraction of them.

4. The Cleveland airport.
