You appear to have an invalid return address, so I will go ahead and 
post this manually.  We had a similar problem with our Gandalf switch
last year  -- it got zapped by lightning and destroyed the Gandalf
communications boards and scores of terminals (via the RS232 connectors).
A suggestion would be to try to find an electronics shop which will do
the work and may have access to old boards from other terminals or have
the clout to purchase just the needed parts.  Most of our terminals were
fixed by the U of Illinois computer repair shop (who replaced the bad
boards/ICs only at a reasonable cost).
