Many mail order companies are reluctant to ship overseas due to the 
difficulty of obtaining an export license, securing payment denominated
in US dollars, dealing with Customs agents, Etc.  It can be more trouble
than the order is worth.  

I have several clients in Europe, and have become accustomed to the
red tape.  As a service to the USENET community, I would be happy to 
assist overseas sites in acquiring US products.  

Here are the prices for the Telebit modems you mentioned above:

        T1000   US$795.00 List          US$646.00 Your Cost
        T2000   US$1,495.00 List        US$1,146.00 Your Cost
        T2500   US$1,495.00 List        US$1,198.00 Your Cost

The T1000 & T2000 require 120 Volts.  Specify 120 or 230 Volt for the T2500.

In addition to the cost of the goods above, you will be paying some
charges for export/import.  Here is a breakdown on a typical order:

        Air Freight             US$35.00
        Cartage                 US$15.00
        Handling                US$17.50
        Sight Draft             US$25.00
        Messenger               US$15.00
        Export Declaration      US$5.00
        Insurance               US$21.00

The usual method of payment is via a Sight Draft; contact your bank regarding
this.  Prepayment could save you some.
