	I believe Hamilton-Avnet is the largest wholesale electronic component
distributor in the U.S.  They, like other large industrial distributors, do
not encourage small quantity "retail" business.  However, they probably won't
turn away your business as long as you meet their minimum order requirements
(probably $ 25.00 per order).  That order amount is not difficult to achieve
if you combine other component needs in one order.
	Two distributors for Siemens in your area are: H-A in Hauppauge, NY at
516/434-7438 and Marshall Industries, also in Hauppauge, NY at 516/273-2424.
Perhaps someone can tell me, once and for all, how to pronounce Hauppauge? :-)
