Has any of my fellow Rennlisters ever pondered the idea of a Bosch Hammer rental program? Surely this would succeed.
The hammer would technically belong to someone, however it could be rented out and eventually pay for itself. Maybe RL would purchase several or even one and look into this idea.
I've seen a similar "trust oriented" system work with stamp collectors. I'm sure even a hefty deposit would be understandable.
Lets kick this around?

I could supply the PST2, but it seems complicated, regarding shipping, insurance, etc . . .

Hmm. I just bought one. I was certainly planning on offering use of it to the local PCA guys on a beer-exchange-basis.
But playing with it, it's not the sort of thing I'd want to just send someone. There's a bit of a learning curve and it's far from the sort of friendly user interface that, say, VAG-COM has.

Jason, please expound on this interface and software.....I'm not familiar. Is this the durmetrix stuff or something else? Can this activate the the ABS stuff?

If your car is ODBII compliant you can build an interface and use free software on a laptop. If you're handy with a soldering Iron, parts with a PCB will cost you about 150 USD from e.g. Ozen Elektronik

What about the solution offered on the P-car site. Seems like a professionally produced and maintained interface (labview perhaps) that works on your lap top. The connector and software were jsut over $100. I was going to do that specially since it was blessed by Robin of p-cars are a "good thing".

The problem with the Ozen electronic interfaces has been that they rely on the ELM232 chip which severely limits their usefulness. If you are feeling adventurous there are public domain interfaces with actual component costs ~$9USD. For an OBD2 based 993 the most complete interface might be the Durametric scanner or for slightly less money for the OBD1 993 maybe a $40USD interface from Andy Whittaker with DougB's free software.
