A short question someone might be able to answer. I've found it
impossible to phone a vendor in the U.S. through a 1-800 number. As no
other number was published I've given up for now and have written a
letter.

Is there any way around this problem (I don't expect the number to be
free, but it would be nice if they were accesible from abroad).

[Moderator's Note: About all you can do at this point is call the
appropriate Directory Assistance Bureau and get the 'regular' number,
then place an toll call. Some companies will, under the circumstances
reimburse you for that call if you make a purchase from them.  PT]
