I had the chance getting in contact with a few US-mail-order software houses.
The best of all: you can reach them via e-mail.

They have an account on CompusServe or AppleLink and it is very easy
to make your order from your terminal. You probably know that there is
a gateway between the InterNet on the one side and CompuServe or
AppleLink on the other side.
I think they accept all major credit cards.

The numbers are:
MacsPlace 				76635.660@compuserve.com
MacZone 				73667.3636@compuserve.com
ComputerWare 			X0996@AppleLink.Apple.COM

I hope that the numbers still work, especially the contact to MacZone
has been a longer time ago, I think it was last year in spring.
