	Data Pacific was selling the Translator One without a valid FCC
id number.  The FCC made them stop production until they had a valid ID. 
Data Pacific now has a valid FCC id and will probably resume sales of
the Translator One in the near future. 

	Data Pacific has a history of problems selling product in
Europe.  Part of this was due to a bad choice for their distributor,
part is due to lack of interest in selling there.  I don't know if they
plan to resume shipments outside the US or not.
