What seemed like a trival problem inappropriate for a posting 
turned out to be more difficult than first imagined. I first
tried a bunch of "network" ad's in the back of a PC magazine.
No luck. At all.

Sun Express. No luck.

Then Andatco, who were willing to sell me one, but could not
give me the price break and the turn around would be
about 5 days. I was impressed with their candor and honesty which
has always been true in my dealings with them.

In the end I did call Milan, and talked to their local distributor
Applied Digital Systems Inc in the afternoon and had the transceiver
on line by 10:00am the next morning.

So it worked out in the end, and in truth the suggestion to call Milan
came from a dc.general reader!

Thanks all for the suggestions.
