Lines: 22 Alright - so I blew it :-) I finally managed to get through to Telebit in Toronto to clarify things. It turns out that my previous statements were wrong Wrong WRONG! [thanks, Steve] Telebit Technologies Canada has extended the 2 for 1 offer. It will run until June 30th. I have been assured it will *not* be extended beyond that date. TTC had planned to stop the promotion on March 31st, however a number of people thought it unfair that US customers enjoy the discount while the Canadians were being left in the cold (so to speak), and phoned TTC to let them know this. I must also retract my statements about TTC's "price gouging", etc. After discussing the overhead involved (in time, FST, duty, etc) it turns out that TTC is losing money on each of these sales. If your (Canadian) Telebit salescritter says the offer is no longer available, have them call Toronto and get their facts straight. -- {alberta,utzoo,uunet}!ncc!lyndon lyndon@Nexus.CA
