Of course, Jacob fails to point out that you must be a dealer in order
to purchase from this distributor.  In the event that you are not a Telebit
dealer (how many overseas customers are?) this distributor will not be
authorized to sell to you at dealer's price.

If I can be of service, my offer still stands.
