I called Sterling and the guy had trouble understanding the part number.
Then he insisted that the price would be $900US.

Gimme a break.  Insight lists these at $7.80  I said that must be for a
100pc minimum and he didn't know!!!

I'll try the Canadian number in the morning and see what they say.  I'm also
going to give Mitel (Canada) a call and see if they can help me find
somewhere to buy a few.

I never thought it would be so hard to buy a couple of chips.
