Hi Tony, the opto-isolator I used was
Digikey part # MOC3011M-ND
I sent ann email to the PICList at the time
and Bob Blick said that the triac was a non-critical
part. Bob suggested using a triac from Radioshack.
I think I order the triac from Digikey. T2800 rings
a bell, but I could not find it at Digikey ?
Just a reminder, I was strickly switching 120V 60W
light bulbs, your needs maybe different than mine.

Good Luck,
Kevin
